About the Artwork:
Quoting writer Alice Butler of Frieze: ‘In Vanessa Mitter’s paintings, the personal is treated as a pliant material, a source of affect and investigation, but also of fiction and performance. There is an abject narrative at play – of childbirth, loss, fertility – but it is a narrative.. working and re-working the surface, with the addition of a swathe of fabric, a ripped sheet of paper, or an expressive gesture of paint, becomes a signifier of the passing of time.”
