+ Thaddaeus Ropac

As the artist explains in her poetic manifesto the ape in me (1988), her paintings occupy an intuitive space that exists beyond the formation of recognisable images, ‘before spoken language’, ‘before memory’ and ‘before the obtrusiveness of objects’. The result is eruptive, with constellations of blotches of colour assembled into half-recognisable images that bear the trace of the artist’s body through scratches and finger marks.
