Fiona Rae’s signature is clearly legible in these works. In a very loose form, they show the visual codes that she has developed in her painting oeuvre over the past years using fragments culled from the internet, from films, from advertising and pop culture in the broadest sense or from the work of Albrecht Dürer or Hieronymus Bosch. Fiona Rae avoids appropriating these sources, using them instead as windows onto her own distinctive pictorial lexicon. Drawing with charcoal seems almost like a liberation, opening up the potential to give the issue of form and background, space, areas and lines a new level of concentrated dynamism.
