Life on Venus III | The Organic, Timed Auction

My works explore our increasingly fragile relationship with the physical. Both in the sense of the awareness we have with our own bodies and with the spaces they inhabit. Figures devoid of any discernible features or identity, are rendered through varying degrees of abstraction, which both mould to and resist the boundaries of the flat plane. A metaphor for the arbitrary constraints imposed upon the body and its meaning, in both painting and society. - C Lucy R Whitehead, 2020
