COME SEE COMME CA - INNSiDE by Melia - EXHIBITION #004 / 2021

COME SEE COMME CA at INNSiDE by Melia, Manchester

1 FIRST STREET | MANCHESTER | M15 4RP | EX DATES: 08.12.21 - 24.01.22

 

We are bringing you a little festive cheer with the latest exhibition at INNSiDE by Melia Manchester with luscious Gingerbread House paintings by Rebecca Davy. Rebecca Davy’s primary concern when creating her artworks is the act of painting itself. Her focus is on what she describes as “the seductiveness and sensuousness of pushing paint on canvas”. She is particularly attracted to painting the colourful, the ephemeral and the kitsch, constructing paintings with a strong element of light and colour that satisfies both the subject and its medium.

 

For her, sticky and colourful things such as sweets and icing are good subjects for the visceral qualities of paint. Bringing these two elements together produces a new realm between kitsch and the hyper real, paintings that flow into being from the artist’s imagination.

 

Rebecca is joined by another Comme Ca Art favourite, Hannah Wooll. Hannah’s work has always been concerned with imagery that is slightly off kilter, exaggerated or fabricated. The portraits of women who at first glance are beautiful and uncomplicated then reveal themselves to be anything but, subverted from the magazine pages and old master paintings from which their heritage derives. 

 

The exhibition runs until the end of January 2022 and is open daily from 10am - 10pm. All works are available for sale so if you are looking for a special gift this Christmas, come see Comme Ca.
