Rose Wylie, Girl in Tights, 2019

It might be tempting to let loose this weekend, after 2020’s first full week of work. Let this Rose Wylie painting be your inspiration! This playful work, rendered using the British artist’s characteristically thick and vibrant marks, is currently on show in her first exhibition at David Zwirner in Hong Kong, Painting a Noun… “The ability to elicit a range of responses is made possible precisely because of her reduction of form to an essential vibrancy that incorporates, via the very physicality of her medium, not just what the artist sees but an accompanying multitude of thoughts, feelings, and memories,” says the show’s curator Clarrie Wallis.
