Jennifer Packer @ Serpentine Gallery

This survey exhibition includes paintings and drawings from the past decade alongside recent work. Jennifer Packer is known for painting intimate portraits of friends and family members, and flower still lifes. Working from a combination of observation, improvisation and memory, Packer’s paintings and large-scale drawings reveal an emotional and physical fragility of life. Characterised by a vibrant approach to colour and a powerful play of scale, she layers, reveals and obscures her subjects through constant shifts between grounds, dissolving figuration into near abstraction.
