A small crowd gathers, watching with bated breath as the replica comes to life, wishing they could participate.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\"> Tina wondered what would happen if she invited the onlookers to paint. In her projects, the public are the copyists, working together collaboratively in the alchemical process of creating an image.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">\u00a0&#8220;Which institutions have stage<\/span>d &#8220;<\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Re-creations?\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Tina has completed more than fifty commissions in museums and institutions such as The United Nations, Lebanon, The National Gallery, London, The Museum of London, The Museum of Fine Art, Valencia and the Glastonbury Festival, U.K. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Each one is unique depending on the location, the event and the participants.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\"> She is passionate about reaching audiences which don\u2019t often go to galleries by creating projects in public places, places of work and institutions. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><em>&#8220;<\/em>What&#8217;s the theory behind it?&#8221;<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">The work relates to Nicholas Bourriaud\u2019s theory of Relational Art.\u00a0In Relational Art, the audience is envisaged as a community, the artwork creates a social environment in which people come together to participate in a shared activity.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Tina&#8217;s aim is to create a whole gallery of\u00a0 &#8220;Re-creations&#8221;, a kind of alternative collection of Old Masters where each work was created by the public. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Although no one can doubt the power, skill and mystique of the Old Masters, the work she makes in collaboration both pays homage to and pokes fun at them, made from a patchwork of styles and talent, the end result can often be dazzling.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><em>&#8220;I like the idea of demystifying the process of oil painting, opening it up so that anyone can have a go. Using an &#8216;Old Master&#8217; gives a sense of achievement to participants and also questions the ideas of authorship, genius and style by fragmenting the image and juxtaposing the &#8216;handwriting&#8217; of many painters. It is also interesting to transform the normally solitary, private activity of the painter into a communal, public one.&#8221; <\/em>Tina McCallan<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-size: 27px;\">Biography<\/span><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Tina McCallan was born in Guernsey, C.I. and studied painting at the Royal Academy Schools in London.
