 Psyche-waiting, 2004 oil on canvas, wooden stands, diptych, overall size 235 x 365 cm Victoria Morton In her new paintings for her second show at HQ Victoria Morton continues to develop a language of explicit abstract realism relating to the idea of Heterotopias. For this exhibition she has made a group of paneled free standing paintings designed to slightly alter the shape of the gallery. These recent works introduce a sculptural element, further extending Morton's spatial investigations and her concerns with recognising the viewer as the centre of perception. Her vivid canvases marry a bold flamboyance with a delicate luminosity, as she combines diverse art historical influences with photography and personal expression. The title "Curiosity Action Crowd" could relate to the loosely conveyed personalities who populate the paintings, including the possible gallery audience.
