Work Background
LUNGLEY GalleryArtist
Nov. 2024 - Jan. 2025London Area, United KingdomPress Release: LUNGLEY is pleased to present a series of new paintings by Sass Popoli that appear as simultaneously abstract and figurative. Motifs evoke eyes, lips, hands and celestial verses. Text appears across images of hairy skins that may also be interpreted as symbolic landscapes - literal entry points to the interior and the self.
Grids, domestic constructions and monochromatic surfaces influence the bodily scale of the paintings. The artist breaks down oil pastels with charcoal and paraffin which are key materials repeatedly employed throughout their work, this process is described by the artist as “like biting cream coated biscuits, I like it and I have been wanting more of it”. The viewer might almost imagine the sound of charcoal slipping through the oily surface of these works. The artist joins and re-joins the surfaces of these paintings using metal plates, shaped brackets and wingnuts. The final outcome of the work bears witness to its sense of assemblage and a ‘do-it-yourself’ aesthetic.
