Inka Essenhigh's sixth solo exhibition at Victoria Miro highlights her exploration of botanical, landscape, and figurative motifs, reflecting a striking intersection between a vibrant outer world and inner emotional landscapes. Each painting constructs a unique universe, encapsulating narratives and ecologies inhabited by various protagonists, whether human or floral. Essenhigh's use of enamel on canvas presents a delicate yet authoritative view that resonates with both contemporary anxieties and historical art influences. The work navigates through the complexities of modern perception, challenged by technological and ecological shifts that shape our understanding of reality.
Essenhigh's paintings seduce and disarm in equal measure, each creating a complete world governed by its own logic and narrative, radiating unique qualities of light.
Since the late-1990s, Essenhigh's work highlights the transformed yet fraught knowledge of surrounding reality amidst technological and ecological change, exploring uncharted perceptual territories.
