Dancia Lundy : Stop Bath

Dramatic exhibition at White Cube Bermondsey of new paintings by Dancia Lundy.

These were amazing, large, layered images evidently painted after the death of her father who was a photographer for a local paper. “Stop Bath” refers to the last process in photography that fixes the image. She is implying a memory preserved.

I loved the way the more you looked at the pictures the more you saw and the strange mix of scale in the layers of images. They had a realistic quality while being fantastical in their composition.

Evidently, they also quote John Donne’s poetry. I don’t know it well enough to spot that but am off to read the full press release to find out more.
