"Molly Bounds offers light as the protagonist in her new series of paintings. It is versatile and ever-changing; it both conceals and reveals, and reminds us of the unrelenting forward movement of time."
"Bounds captures her subjects in solitude. Her interior scenes feature slumped and draping bodies signaling rest and repose that slowly gives way to unease."
"In The Armchair, the warm glow of a fireplace highlights a textured and lush interior, contrasted against the cold, early evening blue sky seen out the window."
"In Privacy Glass, another figure secludes herself from the outside world, rendered dramatically in both warm and cool hues, obscuring her face while accentuating her draped clothing."
Molly Bounds' solo exhibition, The Light That Loses, The Night That Wins, showcases her new series of paintings focusing on light as a central theme. The exhibition features psychological portraits that capture moments of contemplation and movement, reflecting the transition from winter to spring. Bounds' works depict figures in solitude, revealing underlying tension and unease. Notable pieces include The Armchair, highlighting a woman's vacant stare, and Privacy Glass, which obscures a figure's face while emphasizing the passage of time and the complexity of human emotions.
