Presenting Kate McCrickard, Simon Lewty, Will Maclean, Jack Milroy, Mimei Thompson
On Booth 11 we are delighted to present Kate McCrickard and Mimei Thompson, two artists who have emerged over the past decade, with works entering important public collections. Fresh from the studio are paintings on a medium and intimate scale which reflect two contrasting urban realities - in Paris and in London - about people, and about nature in a man made environment. Fluent mark-making by both artists exploits chance to achieve enchanting resolutions.
Lewty, Maclean and Milroy each have hefty monographs charting five decades of work and exploring the context in which their art has evolved. From Milroy we have new boxed cut book constructions and a wild sardine tin work called Fifty Days of Lunch, while from Lewty and Maclean we mix new work with vintage pieces, emphasising the sense of continuity and depth of subject. In particular, from Lewty we present The Smiling Fair, from 1994. It warrants close looking, for its fascinating nonsense words such as hollux and pottopesh, with a pair of rabbits in evening dress appearing between coded numbers and mysterious declensions will indeed make you smile.
