Solo Show Cromwell Place

Benjamin Parsons x Hannah Payne staged my solo show Aliki Braine | Borrowed Landscapes,  at Cromwell Place, London 13 – 17 March 2024

This exhibition, my second solo show with Benjamin Parsons x Hannah Payne gallery, guest curated by Rodrigo Orrantia, focused on my interest in the representation of landscape in western art. Making the most of Cromwell Place’s proximity to the V&A, I drew inspiration from a selection of works in the collection, as well as working directly with found facsimile prints of celebrated landscape artists such as Corot, Constable and Jacob van Ruisdael.  

Through rigorous experimentation with photography and its essential quality as a medium which can ‘borrow’ and reproduce images, the different series which are included in this exhibition examine and subvert the traditional representation of landscape. Using artistic devices that have become synonymous with my work - cutting, punching out, folding and layering - I reconfigured my own and appropriated images to create these ‘borrowed landscapes’, inviting us to look at art, but also the world around us in a different way.
