Margot Sanders | Blue

About

Blue represents a new line of enquiry for Sanders with a pronounced emphasis on mark making and the physicality of the body within the process of painting, underlying her sensitive and provocative work. A tension between surface and skin, and that which lies upon it, resonates throughout the work - whether it be hair, dirt, bed sheets, armour or indeed paint, there remains both the comfort and discomfort of undressing these layers. The blue of a bruise, like an ink stain on the skin, permeates the surface with fragmented references and traces of once lived histories, and what lies beneath is at once veiled and illuminated.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a text by Amy Tobin.
