Bree Jonson shifts from the surreal to the realistic in solo show Writhing, but retains just enough of that visceral rawness in her paintings to unsettle the viewer. -- FAIHAN GHANI/The Star.
Bree Jonson is more than a little like her paintings – or is it the other way around? She’s articulate, has a wicked sense of humour, laughs easily. But pare away the surface, peel back the vivid colours, and there’s more than meets the eye with artist and paintings alike.
Writhing, her second solo in Kuala Lumpur after Therion Mythos in 2014 (and her sixth solo overall), comprising oil paintings, sketches and an installation piece, feature a never-ending supply of adorable sea anemones waving their tentacles lazily, drawing you in like they do with their prey. So venture just a little closer, and then perhaps just a little more, but watch out, their tentacles might sting!
