My Show - Georgina Gratrix

Portraiture is a favoured genre with subjects drawn from Gratrix’s personal and social world, as well as contemporary pop and celebrity culture. Imagery such as rainbows, flowers, exotic birds and puppies have a mischievous, ominous undertone. The paintings are fresh, energetic, witty, vibrant and colourful – yet melancholic. Despite numerous art-historical references, Gratrix is entirely original and completely immersed in the present. In the artist’s own words, My Show includes; “mythical grunge, good pop, bling jokes, sweaty Chanel, divorce flowers, tropical Maximalism, jungle nipples, rainbow poodles, the age of LOL and my friends”.
