Tache presents Estelle Simpson’s Révérence, curated by Catherine Li.
Simpson sets her first solo exhibition in an otherworld of her own making—someplace between performance and secrecy, theatricality and domesticity, charm and menace. Subjects human, animal and object are neatly arranged in tense proximity, with the familiar held at a distance and the uncanny pushed toward the surface.
Tying these compositions together is the treatment—considered, devotional, particular—they receive from their painter, and from which the exhibition takes its name.
Révérence stages fifteen oil paintings against site-specific installations of fabrics and furnishings, and a library area designed by Simpson.
The exhibition is accompanied by an essay and catalogue produced by Li.
