MIRANDA DONOVAN – WALLS

Posted on 2013-03-04

Donovan’s work fuses an exploration into sculpture and colour with a dedication to the possibilities and practice of painting, to create utterly unique ‘urban’ art. Her works are manifestations of the melancholic march of time.

For this exhibition, Donovan will present over twenty paintings all of which return to her ongoing fascination with walls. This time they are often life-size in scale. The larger works are characterized by their three dimensional quality, seen here to an even greater extent than in her previous work, built up in layers of resin, foam, plaster and paint. The textural and tactile aspects are very apparent in the larger works, which are essentially ‘sculptural paintings’. They hang on the wall but are often 10cm deep in thickness. Due to the sheer physicality and weightiness of these larger pieces, on initial glance these works may seem to the viewer to be walls literally hacked out from their surroundings and displayed in a gallery – but in fact they are sculptures, where even the bricks are fabricated, reproduced in a super-real style through the prism of Donovan’s artistry. Liberated and uncompromising, they reveal a level of sophistication and confidence perhaps not immediately apparent in Donovan’s previous work.

Exhibition runs from March 22nd to April 20th, 2013
