This is by no means a comprehensive review of the Whitechapel Open, just a selection of some of the work I connected with.
“Hypnero – Erotic Dream*”, a smoke painting by Laura Santamaria follows a tradition of the practice (there is even a wikiHow guide on how to do it)
Another still from a digital work (of which there were an awful lot), this time from “Gold House” by Lucy Joyce, where gold material billows mesmerically around a house.
Back to pictures on a wall with Gaia Fugazza’s mixed media paintings with beeswax, pigment, glue etc on carved wood. “Woman eating contraceptive pills, Moons” was one of three.
“Large Woman eating weeds or seaweeds” was another of her pieces.
Jodie Carey showed two sculptural pieces that I actually think of as one: I’m a sucker for this type of thing.
