WELCOME TO NATURE STRIKES BACK
The gallery site of Valerie Grove
After several years of living and working in Asia and the Middle East, I came back to the UK and started painting on board, paper or other material found in the street. So Nature Strikes Back essentially began as a recycling project in 1998.
Using manipulated photos of the original paintings, I produced a huge variety of prints and subsequently developed an experimental painting style which explored relationships between traditional painting practice and new print technology.
Im the last few years I have been working on installation projects and my last show in the UK was a site-specific installation for the 2009 E17 Art Trail. Details of this and other installations are here: Installation.
From 2007-2009 I lived in the United Arab Emirates. I blogged extensively on the developing art scene in the UAE and published several articles for Art Review (UK), Nafas Magazine (EU) and Absolute Arts (US).

In August 2009, I received an Arts Council of England commission to create a new blog about the 2009 E17 Art Trail:

This site is essentially an online gallery but if you would like to see other images, commission an image or arrange a viewing of any of my work please email.
Thank you for visiting this site.
