Fiona Rae
In this new body of work, Fiona Rae employs a battery of painterly marks and graphic signs that jostle for space on the fictive plane of painting. Rae revels in juxtaposing elements gleaned from a raid on art history's store cupboard: layering Abstract Expressionism, Tachism and Minimalism alongside contemporary global references from graphic design and popular culture.The mood is ambiguous - flowers, toys and cartoon characters initially suggest a sweet, almost cloying world, yet Rae's dark and brooding palette combined with virtuoso washes and veils of paint suggest dissolution and decay - all is not well in this candied, melting world. These new paintings reveal Rae's continued fascination with the graphic tropes of the Far East: a dragon's scales, exotic feathers and flowers are all rendered with the humorous insouciance of Hokusai crossed with Asterix.

This title examines Fiona Rae's paintings from the last decade when she began to explore, in painterly analogues, many of the new visual conventions familiar to a post-Photoshop generation. She mixes graphic and cartoon imagery with abstract marks and spontaneous gestures to create an iconoclastic synthesis of painterly languages.

ELEMENTE DER ENERGIE UND KOMPLEXITÄT Fiona Rae (geb. 1963 in Hongkong, lebt und arbeitet in London) wurde mit ihrer abstrakten Malerei einem breiten Publikum mit der Teilnahme an der legendären Ausstellung Freeze 1988 in den Londoner Docklands bekannt. Sie war damit eine der frühen Vertreterinnen der Young British Artists, die nicht nur die britische Kunstwelt verändern sollten. Ausgehend von einer konzeptuellen Auseinandersetzung mit den Fragestellungen und Möglichkeiten der abstrakten Malerei sind Raes unverkennbare Arbeiten bis heute herausragend und wegweisend. 2011 wurde sie als eine der ersten Frauen als Professorin für Malerei an die Royal Academy berufen. Der Katalog zeigt erstmals die wichtigsten Bilder aus dieser Zeit, die Row Paintings. Sie markieren den Beginn des international beachteten Werks der Künstlerin. Terry R. Myers würdigt in seinem Essay die Bedeutung der Row Paintings in historischem Zusammenhang sowie im aktuellen Diskurs der Malerei.

In Special Fear Fiona Rae's current exhibition at Pace, she continues to combine divergent stylistic elements and dissonant sources within each canvas. The exuberant buoyancy of her 2006 show has been replaced by a darker, gloomier palette and cropped landscape-like spaces. Marc Glimcher, who wrote the catalog essay, warns that the images are not easily analyzed in terms of their meaning. The disparate elements can be analyzed for their stylistic origins, but they are finally just resonant images and forms which allow the artist to construct a painting. In spite of critics' efforts to reduce the inhabitants of Rae's painting to a semiotic flashcard nothing could be further from the native experience of making the painting or the experience of viewing it.
