About The Artwork
Donachie explores the history of countercultures, domesticity, and utopian ideals, often choosing to focus on female figures and leaders. Donachie will sometimes superimpose landscapes over or within portraits that depict the sermons of cult leaders, forming tableaus that are at once mysterious and deeply evocative. Donachie’s imagery brings to mind the psychedelia of contemporaries like Peter Doig, while the subtle tonal palette recalls Luc Tuymans.
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.
