Gabriella Boyd @ Blain Southern

For this fourth exhibition in the Lodger series, artist Gabriella Boyd has created a new series of paintings called Help Yourself, in which dream logic appears to dominate, and the atmosphere is suffused with both eroticism and threat.
Caught between fretful urgency and an odd, immobilising calm, these canvases feel like glimpses into a sideways dimension, where everything from social conventions to the laws of physics have been subtly redrafted by some shadowy consciousness.
