Event map
Rachel Jones’s new series of paintings, SMIIILLLLEEEE, will be shown in her first solo exhibition at Thaddaeus Ropac London.
About
Some of these new works are marked by a shift in her palette, with more muted tones and a reduction in patterning to produce quieter passages, while her flower motifs have become more prevalent.
Exploring the role of language in engaging with images, the exhibition will also include site-specific text and sticker elements. Painted on a wall in the gallery and surrounded by her paintings, the song title ‘SON SHINE’ becomes a prompt to think about the works and the words in a new light, as does the exhibition’s title. Vinyl stickers will be applied to the floor in dialogue with the paintings they reproduce, with the shifts in scale, materiality and viewing experience complicating the reading of these images.
