Theadora Ballantyne-Way (1988) is an artist based in the UK, previously a VJ working in electronic club culture, alternative spaces which later informed her practice as an artist. Working in photomontage, print, video and painting B-Way is heavily influenced by the Surrealist movement and animism. She plays with scale creating new dystopias and meaning with everyday and symbolic objects. Her current work investigates a provocation of a rebellion of everyday objects and familiar forms, transforming them into monumental megastructures. Since 1989 the fall of the Berlin wall, most families of the Western world have known only peace time and the associated comfort of the peace dividend, represented in this series by the sleek Alessi juicer, an icon of middle-class kitchen luxury. Now suddenly… is the balance of proverbial guns vs butter required by the world changing, as we transition to a new era of deglobalisation and rearmament? B-Way's new series explores the growing turbulence on the world stage, employing our domestic familiarities through her own animist Surrealist visions. B-Way has been elected Associate member (ARE) of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers. Her work has been widely exhibited including the International Original Print Exhibition at Bankside Gallery and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. She has recently exhibited in Kyoto with Goldsmiths university and has won first prize at the RBSA annual print prize.
