Mostly executed during national lockdowns, the works in the show reflect the artist's yearning for space and freedom whilst continuing her exploration of the tension between figuration and abstraction, and the use of the photographic sources as a trigger for a process of action and reaction. | | Giff images: Detail of Olivia Jia, untitled 6.21.82, 2018 @Olivia Jia; Detail of Isabel Nolan, view (back turned), 2020, @Isabel Nolan, Courtesy of the artist and Kerlin Galllery. | Laura Lancaster, Untitled, 2021, acrylic on linen, 40 x 50 cm. © Laura Lancaster | | | | |
