Vanessa Baird: Go Down with Me

Thursday, November 14

Vanessa Baird was born in Oslo in 1963. The exhibition illustrates how Baird’s art has evolved through repetitions and variations of the same themes, but also how the themes are influenced by private and political events. In her early works on gigantic canvases, we see Baird representing herself as young, thoughtful and yearning. Many of the images refer to male artistic geniuses – from Rodin to Munch – highlighting the underlying feminist perspective of the exhibition.

Baird has often created her art over the past two decades at the ‘kitchen table’, surrounded by the chaos of everyday life amid children and an aging mother, but always with a sidelong glance at the world outside. She deals with the refugee crisis and the war in Ukraine in several of her more recent water colours, in which the artist herself often stands powerless among the horrors.
