Catrin Webster & Roy Efrat: Pansy
Pansy is a collaboration between Catrin Webster and Roy Efrat. The exhibition explores the complex meanings of the word 鈥楶ansy鈥� and comprises large scale oil painting on canvas and video mapping. Pansy combines abstraction with figuration, performance and narrative.
Inspired by Franz Kafka鈥檚 1926 novel, The Castle, in which we see the protagonist K. struggle with authority, repeatedly trying to make progress but unable to move beyond the Castle鈥檚 snowy borders. In Efrat and Webster鈥檚 work, the Pansy (P.) navigates a parallel journey across the vast, softly painted canvas. Humorous and playful, the work references identity, perception, sexuality, and gender.
