Press Release
Bex Massey’s paintings carry a soft realism, images rendered in oil paint are displayed in relational pairs, usually two per canvas. A selected image appears beside its counterpart, the combination forms the start of a visual equation waiting to be balanced by you, the viewer.
Over the eleven works that comprise this new body, certain consistent factors are quickly discernible. Sweet foodstuffs reoccur, familiar but not contemporary, these are the desserts we gorged on as children. Pineapple rings are cropped suggestively and a donut has a bite missing, revealing its red, jam-filled interior. The desserts are also presented in detail, as close up layers of sensuous, oozing trifle, folds of cream and fruits, berries and seeds. Parallels in the structure of each image create connections between the paired objects, the peaks of a cupcake’s icing subtly match the layered petals in the accompanying image of a rose below it, forming a visual echo.
