on banality - volume 1

In her recent production of small-format works (studies of contemporary still lifes), the artist is aware of the strangeness she promotes, offering herself and the public concentrated opportunities of pleasure and doubt. Unable to resolve the encounter with these works by a separation between high and low culture, good and bad painting, art and spectacle, the viewer finds himself disarmed by exuberant bromeliads, printed towels, popular ceramics, anachronistic skulls, unexpected eggplants, delicate flowers - all represented as chromatic suggestions deformed by the "fantasy" glass reticles, as the industry would name these cheap materials.
