Liz Fontaine @ Richard Saltoun Gallery

Liz Fontaine works with performance, drawing, text and video. Concerned with sex, relationships, people and politics, her live performances are excruciatingly funny: filled with heartbreak, devastation and charm.

In Hurt Agony Pain Love It, Fontaine’s compulsive, titillating and densely detailed drawings take the viewer on a journey through her mind. Part diary, part fantasy and part information, they fixate on failed romantic relationships, her chronic sickness, therapeutic psychological theories, and the precarious political situation of our time.
