COMING SOON TO THE WESTON STUDIO

A series of four artworks by Rachel Gadsden, each depicting a different show as part of The Acts 2026. Pruu the Pidj The first painting depicts a brightly coloured pigeon with blue and purple brush strokes. Behind them stands a housing block with a yellow and white orb hanging in a dark night sky. In front of the pigeon are sharp spikes of black and pink, with mixed media scattered around including string, rollerblades, and distorted words printed. Realms The second painting sees a grey and brown wolf burst from swirls of brown watercolour. Their face holds a snarl of white teeth and bright yellow eyes. The Ache of It The third painting shows a scene of a bedroom with lush pillows on the bed and two suitcases stacked in front. The colours are abstract, saturated and bold, with pinks and blues, purples and greens, yellow and oranges all bouncing off each other. Body Job The fourth and final painting features a detailed fly with blue and green glistening body and large red eyes in a decaying and filthy bedroom.
