LUCY CADE

‘Ovals on ovals, a continuous stream, eschewing the rectilinear standard to repeat, sentimentalise and encircle.

Transparent modesty screens we also circuit, encompassing space, fragments of cinematic imagery captured on the voile of net curtain, gesturing to privacy and hushed encounters.

Blues and purpley pink pastels as colours of distance and dream, – detachment.

Thick pale paint like icing, sensuous, decorative and sweet but also like an iced over frozen lake, hard and fragile at once, an icing over, closing down as a response to trauma or metamorphosis.

In contrast, paintings with dramatic dark blue grounds, a background for a noir rococo drama – both decoration and horror.

Women make mischievous magical transformations connecting to animal familiars or overlaid with past or future moments from an unspoken personal narrative’.
