Pam Glew, born 1978, is a contemporary artist who is best known for her unique bleaching technique on flags. She uses dye and stitch to paint, deconstruct and distress vintage materials in her own breed of painting.

Heavily inspired by film, her strong cinematic paintings often reference contemporary culture with images of models, actresses and musicians. By painting directly onto flags with bleach and dye, the artist plays with our notion of icons, patriotism and the culture of heritage. As a British artist, she has shown widely in 80 group exhibitions and 5 major solo shows including the UK, Paris, Amsterdam, L.A., Korea and Sydney. She has exhibited in urban, traditional and site-specific exhibitions, alongside such disparate artists as Banksy to HRH the Prince of Wales. Her work is keenly collected and commissioned by contemporary art buyers worldwide and brands such as Red Bull and Ralph Lauren.
