Justine Elinor Frischmann (born 16 September 1969)[1] is an English artist and retired musician.
After forming Suede, she co-founded the Britpop band Elastica before retiring from the music industry and pursuing a career as an artist.
In 2001 the band announced an amicable breakup, citing, in part, burnout from a grueling touring schedule.
In 2019, Rough Trade released a limited edition Elastica BBC sessions album on UK Record Store Day.
In 2012 her work was shortlisted for the UK's Marmite Prize for painting, and she has been included in The Amsterdam List of 1000 Living Painters.
[9] In a 2016 interview regarding her art career, Frischmann stated, "I don't really have any desire to make music, to be honest.
"[10] Frischmann has said, "The themes and ideas I am working with are in direct relation to an ongoing personal narrative; the big questions are reflected in the choices I make in my art ... [including] my ever-evolving relationship with my spiritual faith.
