Painting New Realities
Natasha Kissell at Eleven Gallery, London
When Charles Saatchi bought her whole
graduation show at the RCA back in 2003, South Africa-born Natasha Kissell
was just 25. Her latest show at London's Eleven gallery mixes retro 60s ideas of utopia with the aesthetics of the American sublime painters of the
19th century, topped off with a Disney-esque color palette. Humorously
borrowing its title from Baudelaire's “Artificial Paradises” —a prose
poem charting the poet’s exploration of his own consciousness (via drinking and
smoking, of course)—Kissell's fantastical new work is full of unexpected
juxtapositions, putting real modernist architecture, neon-lit ski-lifts or 60s
pod-houses into wide-open landscapes and lush jungles.
