SOFI BRAZZEAL – HI CRUEL DAME, ADIEU MR. LECH

Posted on 2017-07-31

The exhibition will include oil paintings and works on paper.

There is no given theme or motif except the insistent, incessant treatment of the figure, and groups of figures, and indeterminate manifestations of power between them.

Often depicted in closed rooms or close quarters, the figures in Brazzeal’s work abandon any pretense to civility and decorum. Mired in ennui, some figures seem to putter casually about the spaces they inhabit; they posture, and at other times throw histrionic fits.

Opposite – Sofi Brazzeal, Untitled (six figures with potted plant), 2017
