About The Artwork
Made up of soft strokes in tonal greys, the central figure gazes out of the frame. Donachie’s loose brushwork is held together by her delicate attention to detail. The figure’s pale, minimal features juxtapose the character of their hair and surroundings, the brushstrokes of which flow languidly through the scene. Donachie’s surreal and dream-like compositions combine both collage and painterly strokes, merging landscape with portraiture. Here this is illustrated in the corner of the scene, where a glowing moon appears, transforming the figure’s hair into a hazy night sky. With thanks to the artist and Maureen Paley.
About Kaye Donachie
Kaye Donachie is a painter known for her muted, figurative paintings. Throughout her work, she interprets Avant-Garde women, using history and biography and an archive of found and personal imagery to conjure up characters and tableaus that are at once mysterious and deeply evocative. Often the paintings are a description of time and place that drift between dream and reality, an echo of the past re-imagined in the present.
