Midweek mayhem, committed to canvas by the rising British artist Jessie Makinson. She is adroit at conjuring up alternate universes that put a mythological spin on modern life. Her paintings are dotted with impossibly bendy figures lounging or interacting in otherworldly settings. Often they possess elfin features or resemble folkloric hybrids, as per this woodland creature-channeling pair. Sumptuously decorative and sublimely strange, Mackinson’s works are a treat for both the eyes and the imagination. Read our interview with the artist here.
