Constance Mallinson
Food Wrapper, 2024
Oil on canvas
8 x 8 in
20.3 x 20.3 cm
Constance Mallinson's current paintings are based on an extremely diverse range of post-consumer objects she collects from the urban environment, either in the larger form of compositions of massive accumulations or in smaller paintings of single objects. The objects in the small paintings are rooted in the still life painting tradition but gently subversive. Though also formal investigations, they are highly symbolic of contemporary culture.
Fast Food Wrapper shows a crumpled checkerboard paper from takeout cuisine. "I thought of the grid as a Modern design trope representing progress and rationality, also crumpled here suggesting the downside of consumer culture in an era of climate change," she comments.
