Drawing on the language of 17th-century Dutch art with its ready-made gravitas - mortality, fragility, ostentation - I have been staging narratives using digital collage, photographs, oversized flowers, kitsch objects and ornaments, investigating the tension between high and low art
The aggressive fairies respond to the well-known photograph of a bare-chested Putin riding a horse, which epitomises for me the hyper-macho posturing prevalent in today’s politics. Symbolically shrinking violence and aggression to a minimal size renders them harmless.
My cultural heritage is reflected in the resultant paintings, a blend of Polish exotica and Cockney humour, which influences the work both atmospherically, emotively and aesthetically. Lockdown 2020 gave me time to take an in-depth look at the flora and fauna of the domestic garden and to reevaluate it as subject matter alongside art historical sources. I now grow and photograph my own flowers, using the bouquet as a stage or backdrop, to intertwine my daily living with my art practice.


A Modest Evening with Ruby Tingle
8pm - Late
SOUP, 31-33, Spear St, Manchester, M1 1DF
PAPER Gallery, in collaboration with Independent record label No Such Thing, present an evening of music, food, drink and art from artist & musicians Ruby Tingle and Left Winter, whilst welcoming Berlin gallery, Axel Obiger to Manchester, as they prepare for their exhibition as part of A Modest Show at PAPER. The ticketed event takes place at SOUP Manchester, with complimentary food & drink included in the ticket price.
A new composition will be released with the show’s launch to form an immersive audio element at the gallery, to mark their new releases and to bridge the gap between their contemporary art practices and music. Both artists have created new live works to be performed at SOUP, as a companion to their exhibition at PAPER Gallery with new works that deal with forms of consumption both spiritually and physically.
Tickets can be found here.
