PAT BRASSINGTON is the cover artist of the latest Art Collector Magazine, which features a massive 12-page spread on her work.
Rex Butler examines Brassington’s groundbreaking practice, exploring her “in-your-face sensuous and psychically charged subject matter” and how “behind it lies an extraordinarily refined and self-challenging organisational principle. As Brassington puts it herself: “I am walking the fine line between something that is beautiful and its antithesis”.
Dr Anne Marsh, author of ‘Pat Brassington: This is not a photograph’, is interviewed for the article and describes Brassington’s work as a “tantalising mix of surreal mystery and psychological menace”, and admires the way the artist “works with an incisive eye on our cultural uncanny. Her work encourages us to look deeper into our psycho-social landscape and investigate the hopes, fears and stereotypes that hide there. It’s a very sophisticated practice that looks seamless.”
In February ARC ONE Gallery will present ‘Night Swimming’ – a new body of work by Pat Brassington for the inaugural PHOTO2021 Festival.
