Overture by Chloe June Summerhayes
Thoughts from the artist: Figures play and dance in a suggested space. A wall keeping them out or in materializes behind them.
Summerhaye's practice is informed by questions and ideas around the cyclical nature of ourselves and our environments. Depictions of Rubenesque putti reappear throughout the series suggesting narrative and inviting interpretation. Despite alluding to canonical narrative within an historical context, this imagery is, primarily, a starting point for an exercise in painterly abstraction. Led by process, the work arrives somewhere between figuration and abstraction. The process is meditative, repetitive and shadowed by the pressures of time.
