Abbie Schug graduated from Northampton University with a BA Hons. in Fine Art and Painting in 2018. She has been chosen with a select few to feature in the ‘Platform Graduate Award Exhibition 2018’, which selects the finest graduates from the south east region.

Her work explores the relationship between the analogue and digital. Influenced by her keen interest in traditional portraiture and photography her work investigates the anatomy of the digital image whilst questioning the nature of viewing.  Abbie’s studio practice has seen the exploration of drawing, painting, photography, animation and printmaking.  Her most recent body of work uses oil on canvas to study solarised digital screens displaying anonymous portrait photographs.
