Pink Party!: Mersuka Dopazo

Pink Party! is an exhibition of paintings by the Spanish artist, Mersuka Dopazo, and her children. Inspired by vintage comic book illustrations, these vibrant works present a familiar cast of characters, and offer a window onto the imaginative world of the artist's five children: spotty aeroplanes fly over striped cats with purple ears and battered converse, whilst Batman floats over a sea of tiny hearts and numbers.

 

These mixed-media paintings present a festival of collaborative mark making: traces of small fingers on the canvas are interspersed with confident and gestural brush strokes in brilliant hues. The humorous aphorisms that adorn the works communicate the life and values of this loving and exuberant family.
