Phoebe Unwin

by Max Henry

Unwin's paintings each have their own autonomy yet possess a clear genetic and familial link such that the entire breadth of her output has no specific hierarchical order. There are recurring motifs that suggest an autobiographical sunglasses, modernist geometrical forms and portraits - one of the images depicts a person blushing in the dark, a glowing face with black impasto eyelids. Throughout her work the artist creates a counterpoint between explosive abstract paintings and a darker, often sinister psychological interior space.
