Garance Bray (b. 1997, France) is a London-based painter whose paintings dwell in the female body: its tensions, intimacies, and negotiations with power. Overhead viewpoints recur throughout her compositions, drawing the viewer into the scene to share in its secrets and implications. A bright palette, tuned to the emotional temperature of the image, and a close attention to texture turn the body into a surface holding a history that wants to be heard, and the marks left upon it into its narrative. Bray's paintings open a space where the unspoken and unseen parts of experience can emerge: messy, alive, where desire and fear intersect.
