About
Mary Stephenson (b.1989, London, UK) previously studied at The Glasgow School Of Art and the Royal Academy Schools.
While exuding a mood of tension and apprehension, Stephenson’s canvases are simultaneously undercut with a distinctive, dark comedy. Bright and highly saturated worlds shift and move between the familiar and the uncanny, which lead the viewer into an abundant space of exploration and discovery.
Stephenson refers to the canvases as ‘pregnant spaces’ where she gives room for the unconscious to grow and reveal its hidden meanings-at times, sun drenched rooms allude to rich fertile ground that swells and illuminates out of the canvas.
What appears is a distinct and mysterious snap shot into Stephenson’s cinematic depiction of ones all consuming and excessive desire to fit in and belong.
