Oona Grimes is a London based artist, primarily a chaser of language through drawing and clay making. During her 2018 Bridget Riley Fellowship at The British School at Rome, Grimes segued from thieving Lorenzetti tartans and cartoon detail from Etruscan paintings, to the appropriation of neorealist films - mis-remembered, imitated and low tech re-enacted: a physical drawing of herself captured on iPhone.
Each piece is unique, with six variations or themes, individually made and hand painted, signed and numbered by the artist.
Produced specially for Matt's Gallery's 40th Anniversary, September 2019.
Oona Grimes is represented by Danielle Arnaud.
