Pace et Quiete | Pippa Young I Oil On Linin

£3,950.00

Oil On Linen (Comes Framed)

Size: 35cm x 45cm

Pippa Young is a contemporary painter whose practice reflects on uncertainty, identity, and materiality within an increasingly fragmented and digitalised world. Working through painting, collage, and redactive processes, her work considers how psychological identity is assembled from fragments of memory, experience, and social context, continually reshaped through interaction and perception. Rather than viewing the instability of contemporary life as loss, Young positions it as a generative condition, opening up space for new forms of attention, intimacy, and meaning-making.

Her paintings emerge from an interplay between rigorous intellectual engagement and quiet, repetitive acts of making. Drawing on an expansive range of cultural and theoretical references, she constructs surfaces that reward sustained looking: finely observed, near-photorealistic elements sit alongside disrupted texts, shifting aphorisms, and layered visual interventions. These works ask to be read as much as seen, where meaning is continually deferred and reconfigured through close attention.

In the context of an image-saturated, screen-mediated culture, Young’s practice offers a deliberate counterpoint, positioning painting as a contemplative space and a repository of accumulated thought, time, and gesture. The result is a body of work that resists immediacy, instead inviting prolonged engagement, where fragmentation becomes coherence and uncertainty becomes form.
