It can feel so absurd. Painting, thinking in paint. Quite isolating. When you find people who share this feeling, it’s special. Painting in front of one another, approaching our respective practices with seriousness and gravitas, is a unique relationship. Our friendship was established with a deep sense of sincerity and understanding, bearing our visual languages to one another in the studio through all of its stages.
Just Paint is a testimony to our relationship as three, young, female painters and paintings’ unique ability to bind people together. This show positions our work as something that is accessible, that is not reserved for particular people, shown through how stylistically different our paintings appear. We hope this conversation between the paintings translates our bond and closeness as a trio and imbues the exhibition with a sense of warmth and community.
‘Painting is not secure, but we have found security in it, together.’
