Paintings by Henrietta Paine
'Kitchen Connections’ have been created in response, and in honour of the next generation of young adults, at their time of stepping out into the world. The paintings mark a time when small meet ups were punctuated with intervals of lockdown and large parties were illegal, (save exclusively for our government, it transpires).
Painted in oils, the images aim to reflect pent up energy and vibrance of youth and a need for connection, trust and autonomy. In turn they aim to capture the angst of isolation and loss of contact and bewilderment of circumstances.
Henrietta has been exhibiting nationally for over thirty years. She was long-listed for the John Moores 2023 painting prize.
