For Francesca DiMattio’s fourth solo show, Wedgwood, the New York-based artist continues her practice of deconstructing domestic everyday objects (the likes of pillows, window spray, running shorts, footballs) with sculptural furniture that references 18th-century Sèvres porcelain, alongside chandeliers, Rococo mirrors and Wedgwood-inspired wall sconces, inviting the viewer to consider surface and genre in different ways. The exhibition is all the more eye-catching as it also includes an artist-designed wall-to-wall carpet with a trompe l’oeil mosaic design and hand-painted wallpapers that interact seamlessly with patterns on sculptures and plinths, completely transforming the gallery space.
