Kevin Kavanagh is pleased to present Midnight, an exhibition of new paintings by Diana Copperwhite. Midnight returns to Copperwhite’s preoccupation with space. This exhibition deals not with physical place, but rather space of the mind. Images sourced from the mass media - newspapers, style magazines, advertising, television – are juxtaposed with those which are deeply personal to the artist. By personalising the imagery the media space is deconstructed. The events from the artist’s personal archive become generic. In the ambiguous light of Midnight all images are afforded equal weight and significance. The use of colour, texture, layering, reiterate that these are poetic images, but they refer to the real. The people are every body and any body, media ghosts, memories, a double play of existence and purpose in a zone where fiction and reality collide.
