Dee Ferris makes paintings with the grand ambition to embody the ideal of a Romantic escapist geography, both physical and emotional. Her canvasses mainly take the form of fantasy landscapes transformed from an unforgivably clichéd perfection into works that resolve the tensions between the desire for an unattainable romantic high and its intersection with reality. Ferris’s paintings are often foggy yet glistening compositions that obscure as much as they reveal, giving them the feel of a half-remembered dream. The barely visible, mannequin-esque figures that populate her landscapes are emblematic of the awkwardness suffered in experiencing emotions so overused they feel fake – Ferris’s work eases the ensuing emotional disruption caused by a life full of fictional happy endings and knee-jerk responses to utopian advertising scenarios. Ferris handles paint in a way that allows for the beauty of such scenes to shine through the mist of hyper-reality – her fractured, shimmering surfaces re-aestheticise hackneyed imagery as a something its okay to love with all sincerity.
