Jenny Brosinski’s large abstract paintings are fast and automatic. The compositions are dominated by barren, pastel-hued unprimed canvas, punctuated by the artist’s trademark scribbles. To create the works, Brosinski uses a range of materials including acrylic, charcoal, spray-paint, dirt, and olive oil; and she often puts her canvases through the washing machine or soaks them in the shower. Elements of text appear throughout, recalling snippets of a teenagers’ diary or the defaced door of a nightclub toilet cubicle. Abstraction, neo-expressionism and minimalism are all key influences, as well as cartoons, automatic writing and contemporary artists such as Rose Wiley and Sterling Ruby. Through layering and negative space, the works explore memory, truth - and the possibilities of painting itself.
