JUDITH SUPINE AT NEW IMAGE

"LADYBOY", a solo show by everyone's favourite collage artist Judith Supine opened earlier in the week. So much going on at the moment it's difficult to keep up but really wanted to post on this. He produced an incredible piece for us here at Nuart and is without a doubt one of the most interesting and fascinating artists working out of this scene.

The exhibition features the artist’s newest and most ambitious work to date, showcasing more than twenty canvases and large-scale woodcut sculptures up to fourteen feet high. Supine has transformed the entire gallery into a personal installation space, covering every inch of floor, wall and ceiling with silk-screened wallpaper, his signature fluorescent colors and dreamlike narratives.

LADYBOY references the “genderqueer”. Supine describes the title’s significance as “the marriage of opposites in one person — comparable to the technique of collage, combining seemingly disparate images to reveal something that wasn’t previously apparent”. An intimate encounter by the artist with a ladyboy in Bangkok served as the stimulus for this exhibition.

Ladyboy is at New Image Art and runs until May 13
