Company Gallery is pleased to announce Divorce Paintings, Jeanette Mundt’s third solo exhibition with the gallery. Recently, Mundt’s practice has undergone a decisive evolution, with the physical life of painting now at its center. Confronting what she perceives as a loosening of collective historical memory, Mundt has re-engaged with canonical genres – landscape, still life, the figure and most recently, abstraction – as structural anchors through which to question how contemporary life might still resonate within inherited forms. Though aware of how traditionally minded this may appear, Mundt is driven by a belief that these frameworks remain capable of containing the tensions and ambiguities of the present moment.
