- Corinna Spencer
Recent paintings and drawings by this artist whose work is influenced by the representation of women in historical settings, remembered and long forgotten, real and imaginary.
Approaching painting in a way that pushes at the boundaries of acceptable and recognisable portraiture, Spencer suggests turmoil beneath the skin and the fluidity and uncertainty of daily life.
The women in these portraits reach out to the viewer from the past into an equally tumultuous present day.
is needed now More than ever
Small in size but great in number, Spencer’s new paintings deal with colour where it has been absent in her previous work, while monotone drawings are more intimate and exist halfway between drawing and painting.
Sept 7-29, THAT Art Gallery, Tue-Sat 11am-6pm. Opening night preview Thur 6 6-9pm.
