GERALDINE SWAYNE is best known for her suggestive and mysterious paintings, populated by people on the verge of action, like film stills. The atmosphere is thick with tension and heightened emotion yet the narrative is obscured, like entering a room where a television has been left paused. Swayne’s scenes are often awkward, haunting, sexy, bizarre, dark, or amusing – sometimes all at once. Her oblique narrative references allow the viewer to project their own story onto the works.
She is a member of the Krautrock band Faust, and some of her artworks were made live on stage during performances with the group.
