Cally Trench's paintings

Our recollections of childhood are compiled from strange mixtures of the real and imaginative worlds that we inhabited as children.

Monument

Monument, 2006
Acrylic on canvas, 30 x 30 cm
Private collection

The Blue Swimming Costume, The Yellow Shorts, The Pink Hat, The Grey Trousers and Monument show a girl in ordinary clothes in unpopulated, exotic, rural, fictional or ambiguous landscapes.

In Repeating History and Irretrievable Time, the child occupies a space between the real world and the world of toys and dolls.
