Compositions evolve by extracting observations from an image, which transforms in a practice of analysing the shifting passages of paint as tension between luminosity and solidity develops.
This month, Mollett presents her first solo exhibition of paintings in Shanghai (CN) with Pond Society titled Noon. Following her recent exhibitions Halves at GRIMM in Amsterdam (NL) and Low Sun at Micki Meng in San Francisco, CA (US), Noon serves as a sequel; allowing the artist to revisit and develop her ideas into an extended body of work.
Continuing her exploration of the interplay between densities of paint, and the uncertain settling of mark into form, these paintings emerge from a geologically inflected language of deterioration and accumulation.
Traversing the freedom of abstraction and the responsive intensity of description, the paintings in Noon coalesce into distinctive entities. Within them, matter disperses and mingles, endlessly divisible and indivisible.
