Martha Jungwirth @ Thaddaeus Ropac

A new series of oil paintings by Martha Jungwirth are displayed in her exhibition All Will Fall.   Poised between abstraction and figuration, her paintings are inspired by what she calls conceptual ‘pretexts’ – impressions from her travels, Greek mythology, the appearances of friends and companions, as well as contemporary political events – capturing fleeting, internal impulses that are recorded in watercolour and paint.

Grounded in closely observed perceptions of her environment, this new body of work draws on elements of the natural world depicted in the form of flowers, popular culture expressed through a portrait of Lady Gaga and static objects such as a colouring book.
