Familiar Bones presents the first posthumous exhibition of London artist Jill West.

New House

Familiar Bones presents the first posthumous exhibition of London artist Jill West. Her series of paintings explore the congruence of form, abstract narrative and lived experience. Following a life of alcohol recovery and motherhood, Wests’ work concerns the examination of current issues of powerlessness, powerlessness of the individual and groups of individuals that exists within society. Her work physically confronts the viewer with the reality of what goes on behind closed doors, both public doors and private, bringing interior to exterior.“My work lies in the tradition of narrative expressive-realist. The works of Simon English, Sarah Lucas, and more recently, Dorothea Tanning and Ken Kiff, inspire me to greater freedom in both the application of paint and in the subject matter - the subconscious, whilst continuing to confront current issues of powerless - the abused, the locked away, the displaced, the marginalised.” - Jill West, December 2005.We welcome you to join us for the Private View on Friday 18th July 7-9pm.The exhibition will run from the 18th -21st July
