Shani Rhys James @ Connaught Brown

This Constant State, is an exhibition of new paintings by Shani Rhys James, which challenges the cyclical and relentless passage of life. In this latest body of work Rhys James continues to explore the transience of being; contrasting her early iconic painting of a child’s cot (for which she earned the Jerwood Prize in 2003) with startling images of the female figure ravaged by decay.
The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue featuring an essay by Jo Mazelis, Jerwood award winning novelist, poet, photographer and Fellow of The Royal Literary Fund.
