Jane Boyd (born 20 June 1953) is a British artist. She is best known for her work in light-based installation and drawing and has been exhibiting internationally since 1986. Boyd was the first woman to be elected Fellow Commoner in Creative Arts, a two-year fellowship (1981–83) awarded by Trinity College, Cambridge. Her work is represented in a number of public collections including the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Gibberd Gallery and the British Museum. Boyd won The Shell Waterloo Painting 1981 prize, a major competitive commission awarded by Shell UK to produce a painting measuring 3 m x 10 m for exhibition above the South Bank exit of London Waterloo station. Filmed by the BBC throughout its progress in the studio and on site, the result was a large canvas entitled Generation of Alternatives. The same year she exhibited in Summer Show 1, along with Andrew Darke, Andy Goldsworthy and Steve Joy at the Serpentine Gallery, London. Boyd concentrated on colour field painting until 1990 when ideas concerning the interdependence of time, memory and consciousness demanded a new medium able to express the inherent temporal nature of these concepts. Light itself would replace paint while in the drawings, charcoal dust would become the primary medium. More information...
