Jutta Koether @ Levy Gorvy

Jutta Koether’s Femme Colonne, features seven new, large-scale paintings, spread across two gallery sites.  Koether utilises appropriation to situate herself within an eclectic artistic genealogy that references idioms from French baroque painting to Symbolism, Post-Impressionism, and Surrealism. In a recurring repertoire of pixelated or “bruised” grids, vibrant red paint, and unfurling ribbons and curtains, Koether layers her own figuration with art historical motifs, recasting these symbols to provoke generative new meanings.
