註釋
Born in Hong Kong, Rae, 48, is a former YBA who graduated from Goldsmiths in 1987 and participated in the notorious Freeze show, organized by Damien Hirst in 1988. She was taught by Michael Craig-Martin, nominated for a Turner Prize at the age of 27, and elected to the RA in 2002. The 17 paintings that hang in this wonderful space were made between 2000 and 2011. Rae has insisted that her work is sincere, not ironic - in which case, the titles are alarming: My Favorite Puppy's Life (2004), Moonlite Bunny Ranch (2003), Lovesexy (2000), and We Go in Search of Our Dream... (2007). The latter is one of the more engaging, albeit syrupy, works; its swoops of turquoise and thick, bushy blues are vivacious rather than panicked. Winged creatures soar upwards and scatter around the branches of a tree, blurring into a watery sky.
