Solo exhibition of paintings by Vanessa Mitter.
Vanessa Mitter's paintings deliberately question the language of kitsch as an element of beauty. Her paintings are both exuberantly high-octane in terms of colour, but mordant in terms of their conceptual approach. Endless layers of patterning, collage and gaudy colouring are deliberately extreme, to the point where the paintings, when viewed in the flesh, are almost too vivid, too excessive.
Alice Butler writes that 'in Vanessa Mitter's paintings, the personal is treated as a pliant material, a source of affect and investigation, but also of fiction and performance. Collage, paint and pigment find a way on to the canvas in ephemeral expressive gestures. There is an abject narrative at play - of lost childhood and drifting brides - but it is a narrative that wanders in and around the artifice of the material.'
