Vignettes - New Paintings. A sad story of beauty, exploitation and prestige. "My vignettes are groups of characters fading in and out of history, in and out of my consciousness."(Cathy Lomax).


comunicato stampa

A sad story of beauty, exploitation and prestige.

My vignettes are groups of characters fading in and out of history, in and out of my consciousness. Little snippets, brief scenes from a bigger picture, tiny clues that when pieced together make a story. These women are freed from association and regrouped, clustered together receding from or rising into the frame. Nostalgia, concealment and disruption are key elements towards an ultimate aim of subverting established notions of the public and private self in a very personal investigation of Englishness, sentimentality, romance and melancholia.

The women that I always wanted to look like. Sweet little Mary Bell, forever faded in inky newsprint and reproduced again and again, a mirror held against my own childhood. Marina Duchess of Kent, mid century Beatonesque icon, now slipping out of relevance. The Royal Sisterhood, bound by duty. Impossibly beautiful ballerinas The romance of popular culture is a powerful thing.
