Tina Lane

Southampton, United Kingdom
Artist (Photography, Sculpture)
Born unknown date

Tina Lane is a British visual artist who works with installation, sculpture, photography, media, and performance in her interdisciplinary art practice. His projects evolve in response to the needs of the site, working in collaboration and communication with people, places, and psychology.

At the moment, her work is focused on human relationships, identity, memory, and mortality. She strives to address, rather than resolve, the uncertainty of fitting into established systems and patterns of thought through her art. It's satiating a basic want to communicate non-verbally and visually by making the art as inclusive and engaging as possible, without regard for language. Visualizing inarticulate brains functioning via material and performative processes demonstrates this investigation of the 'gut feeling' or 'instinct,' and enables creative mobility.

Tina Lane received a BA (Hons) First in Fine Art from Southampton Solent University, where she was awarded the CVAN SE Platform Graduate Award by Aspex Gallery and Solent Showcase Gallery for Best of Degree Shows in 2015. Following that, she took residencies in India and Japan. In 2018, she earned a Distinction in her MA in Fine Art from Winchester School of Art.

Walks taken whilst in Tokyo at night, midnight and beyond, it moves into the realm of the uncanny as the images of suburban houses and buildings stand quiet and in sleep. Is this really the busiest place on the planet? It is by definition one of the safest and it was such a joy to feel that freedom as a woman alone.

I have been mapping where I wander in Tokyo in the small hours of the night, and documenting with photos. I use the word ‘wander’ as I do not plan my walks, just each night a new area. Last night I was accompanied by Haruyuki Kobayashi san and a film crew from the Fuji TV morning show “Tokudane!” who are covering a story on visitors to Tokyo. I met them quite by chance whilst I was walking to Shinjuku. They were interested in what I do as an artist wandering about at night. Did I feel safe? What did my work entail? Yes completely safe, it is one of the best things ever, International Women’s Day every day, Women are safe to roam here at night without fear, I'll repeat that, women can walk alone at night without fear of attack and then being blamed for being out alone... So I have been able work on a project in the small hours that may never have been possible in any other city as a lone female artist.

At night the regular building images take on a new perspective, with crisp clean lines, and block colour, stark yet beautiful in their simplicity and uniformity. Constantly repeating patterns within the towering heights. Japan has a way to make this type of architecture work I think it is the cleanliness of the cities. So it takes on this Corbusier idealism, although incredibly densely packed it is minimalist. Or I am just talking twaddle as usual? I do that a lot. Even the old run down buildings keep their clarity. No piles of trash collecting in grubby corners of disinherited and unwanted buildings. At home in UK our governing bodies would rather you did not look, as they distract your attention away from uncared for and unloved areas to their shiny new builds, which no doubt have the same grubby run down future in store.

I love the atmosphere at night in Tokyo with many of these smaller areas feeling as if you have stumbled across some alternate reality that is a mix of J.K. Rowlings 'Potterverse' and Enid Blytons’ tales. The occupants of the buildings leave their bikes leant against railings with no worries it will be gone by morning. Yet this is in the centre of Tokyo, one of the largest cities in the world if not the largest.

Here most buildings, homes or apartments have people in, the lines and cables above the street connecting each. At night when it is so peaceful I wonder about the occupants of the buildings and how their daily lives play out. What is it like to be someone else? Something none of us will really know, but the lines continue connecting. So without really planning a set course of action it has happened. I just followed my gut instinct, the inarticulate mind. I found I was attracted to the really interesting architecture which I then focused on, once again the Corbusier crispness of the structures mixed with the masses of over head cables connecting each building. Connecting people in an abstract way. It struck me I have gone crazy with the colour, all my images becoming more and more vivid. I think it is related to how vibrant Tokyo is, I do not mean the neon lights or colour in a literal sense I mean how alive this place is and how it makes me feel, and that is expressed in the art I produce!
