Christina Zimpel: New Works

Christina Zimpel’s practice centres around the idea of performance. Her paintings and drawings suggest women not quite of this time and not quite perfect, a feeling she sometimes has herself with the rapid changes in society and social media. Zimpel’s often intense, non-realistic use of colour and simplified reductive shapes with a split horizon creates a blatant feeling that there is nowhere to hide and that her subjects are fully exposed. The colours are subversive rather than soft and feminine, being drawn from her childhood memories of the sixties and seventies, glam and punk rock and a love of the Fauves.

Opening night 22nd October 5-7pm
