The starting point for the work is Gainsborough's Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, a painting in which the subject is primarily ownership and social standing. Leonora Robinson turns display to discretion with a linguistic play on private/privet. The expansiveness of Gainsborough's landscape is reduced within the work to the scale of a suburban hedge.
The work was first shown on an oak tree in a wood. Now in the APT Gallery context the notion of display is further reduced to reticent signage on a discarded glass door panel. |
