American born JULIANA AMARAL LEITE
is a complex artist who meditates predominantly on the human
condition, represented by her preponderance in using the human
figure. Working across mediums Leite employs video, performance,
sculpture and objects to investigate her concerns. Sometimes
grotesque, often masochistic and always challenging, Leite’s
work typically uses her own body to convey a direct physicality
which forces the audience to embrace horror and angst alongside
beauty and fragility.
CATHY LOMAX works predominantly in paint medium, in this
instance in oil on outsized paper. Inspired by popular culture
and events from the public domain, Lomax focuses on actual and
implied narratives. By adding or removing usual associative
elements to or from an image the artist creates and removes
aspects of a story or personality. Nostalgia, concealment and
disruption are key elements to Lomax’ approach towards
subverting established notions of the public and private self as
she investigates Englishness, sentimentality, romance and
melancholia.
SARAH McGINITY has quickly become known for her mysterious,
outsized imaginary portraits of generic ‘types’. |
