"David's Alice"
Posted by sabine7 Painting | Aug 7, 2005

Australian painter Jenny Watson adds her acrylics to more unusual backgrounds such as unprimed canvas, cotton damask, Indian organza and brocade, to produce self-portraiture using naďve techniques. The irregular lettering often employed by Watson to identify subjects or add to the picture is childish, and the lack of perspective also suggests a portrayal of regressive states tied to the emotional subject matter. But all is not heavy-handed. Sometimes Watson’s heroines are gals like Avenger Emma Peel or Wonderland’s Alice who counteract the fragility more apparent in other works.


Artist: Jenny Watson
