Rose Wylie - Quack Quack : Serpentine Galleries / editors: Melissa Blanchflower, Agnes Gryczkowska, Melissa Larner

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Rose Wylie finds visual material for her large-scale paintings in a wide range of sources: from art history, cinema and comic books, to daily observations, news and celebrity stories. Her images are often painted through the filter of her memory, using text to anchor recollections and facts and editing slippages in the compositions by overlaying new pieces of canvas, like a collage.Imbued with wit and economy of line Wylie's canvases are confident and energetic, proposing new perspectives on the world and the plethora of images in our cultural memory.Alongside plates of all paintings in the exhibition, this publication expands upon Wylie's practice and presents images of additional paintings, works on paper and preparatory drawings from her new series based on Hyde Park.This catalogue features an introductory text by Curator Melissa Blanchflower. Writer Barry Schwabsky offers a dialogue on the nature and objectives of painting. Artists Tal R and Alvaro Barrington have written instinctive and poetic responses to Wylie's unique approach to image and mark-making, whilst Lynette Yiadom-Boakye has contributed a fictional text in three parts set in Hyde Park, that loosely take images in Wylie's paintings and their potential for narrative as touchstones.Designed by Roland Brauchli.Published to accompany her first institutional solo exhibition in London, Rose Wylie: Quack Quack, 30 Nov 2017 - 4 Feb 2018, Serpentine Sackler, Serpentine Galleries, London.
