Rachel Deacon @ Catto Gallery
2 March 2017 - 20 April 2017
People frequently compare the paintings of Rachel Deacon with those of grand masters such as Ingres, Raphael and Renoir. Like them, she is rather fond of the pneumatic female form. A bit obsessed, even. But there’s a crucial difference. While Renoir’s beautiful ’baigneuses’ just bathe, the magnificent women of Rachel Deacon give tattoos, box and fill cars with petrol. They also do falconry. And they remain seriously sexy throughout.
