Jenny Watson, Titanic, 2024, acrylic and Japanese pigment on rabbit skin glue primed cotton duck; Titanic model on shelf, 216 x 214 cm

Jenny Watson’s latest exhibition, A little bit of everything I do, at Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery does as it says on the tin, however, a ‘little bit’ of Jenny Watson is a not diminutive or simplistic in any sense of the saying. Her current show is a transformational deep dive into the expansiveness of a 50-year career of one of Australia’s most profound and celebrated painters. Comprehending the entirety of Jenny Watson’s career is like putting a magnifying glass up to the History of Art and in this current exhibition we are privileged to a snapshot of this history. The exhibition entails a group of seven charming works on paper together with seven dazzling paintings, that capture the enduring style, technique and considerations Watson has explored since the 1980s. Within the gallery space, we take a momentary respite in Watson’s inner world where memory lies on a bed of dreams, and we are offered witty anecdotes with signature Watson panache.
