Watercolour on Yupo, aluminium, acrylic polyurethanem
110 x 60 x 48 cm each

Imogen Eve Rowe paints watercolours of gardens and other subjects that capture her attention, using an observational practice to explore themes of community, belonging, and identity.

In this work, Rowe depicts two putti, naked, supernatural baby boys playing instruments, positioned on either side of a footpath in a local subtropical front yard. Her choice reflects a fascination with the persistence of religion, fairytale, and historical iconography that continue to shape and hold influence within Australian suburbia.
