Catalogue Note
"The artist’s use of water-based oil paint both gives the works an interesting surface and more coyly suggests the uncomfortable middle-ground of adolescence, playing a kind of dress-up with materials. This is a smarter and less obvious way into the subject matter, using kitsch without picturing it" (Peter Eleey, ‘Karen Kilimnik’, The Brooklyn Rail, 1 July 2002, online).
