TweetIn “My World…And Everywhere It Takes Me”, Bramson paints passionately with lighthearted arbitrariness and amusing anecdotes about love and affection in an often cold and hostile world. Here narrative vignettes are used as a repository for feelings, which often collide and intermingle between notions of the personal, the decorative, and at the same time, proposes a story but doesn’t tell an ending.
In her childhood home, Bramson was surrounded by collections and mishmashes of high and low. Kitsch was juxtaposed with assorted objects such as Asian female figurines, paintings, and Oriental wallpaper. The artist’s visual roots have been a continuous presence in her work, while also employing narration and inspiration from Chinese Pleasure Gardens, as well as: Indian miniatures, Fragonard, Boucher, and Henry Darger. Bramson engages in abstraction and collage combined with figuration, co-mingleing folly with value-infused feelings about the human condition. Balancing delicately between the humorous and somewhat disturbing, her work offers a glimpse into the depictions of playful eccentric spaces and the “bawdy banal”.

In the body of work she has created since 2011, Amelie von Wulffen has reconceived and interpreted anew the medium of oil on canvas, so often regarded obsolete. For her first exhibition at Galerie Barbara Weiss she presents a selection of particularly relevant and layered paintings. These paintings revolve around suppers and grotesque scenes. The former are governed by an uncanny and brooding sense of the home, reinforced by the exhibition title, which could have been taken from a TV crime series. In the latter group of paintings monster-like creatures inhabit the scenes.
The architecture of this pictorial space is based on the juxtaposition of independent parts. This is mediated by way of the painting itself, which is presented as a process. In von Wulffen’s work, even painterly gestures located in close proximity can be appropriated from a variety of styles. Thus impressionist, cubist or informal references are present, as well as others that seem to stem from hobby painting. The mood is reminiscent of symbolic and surrealist painting. By way of this detour, bringing together disparate forms and compositions, genres such as the interior, the animal image and the veduta are evoked.
