Artist of the Day: Johanna Love

A solo exhibition by Johanna Love.

Flowers Gallery is pleased to announce the 24th edition of Artist of the Day, a vital West End exhibition programme selected by leading contemporary artists since 1983. The fast-paced, revolving two week exhibition schedule provides a platform for a selected group of artists, each presenting a one day solo exhibition at Flowers Gallery’s Mayfair location, with a programme of events taking place each day.

DAY EIGHT: Johanna Love selected by Rebecca Salter RA. A one day exhibition will be held from 11am - 7pm at Flowers Gallery, Cork Street, London.

One of the first things that interested me about Johanna’s work was the way she constructs complex images through both print and drawing that offers us multi-layered, visually sophisticated traces of the past.

Johanna has always had a sensitive and thoughtful interest in history. Her most recent body of work continues to explore ideas around the materiality of memory and to capture the fleeting, delicate layers of detritus that form and coat surfaces. The capturing and preservation of family memories and the distortion and fallibility of oral history, incubate within this work as sort of hidden layer or mark scored on the surface.
