Oona Grimes is a London
based artist, primarily a chaser of language through drawing and clay making.
During Grimes’ 2018 Bridget Riley Fellowship at The
British School at Rome she segued from thieving Lorenzetti
tartans and cartoon detail from Etruscan paintings,
to the appropriation of neorealist films - mis-remembered,
imitated and low tech re- enacted: a physical drawing
of herself captured on i-phone.
“You’re lured inspite of yourself, inspite of not
knowing what the shady characters and disjointed
hieroglyphics represent… Isn’t this what Grimes is
seeking - a way to notate a reality that can’t be
determined or resolved through narrative or catharsis?”
- Cherry Smyth
Her drawings are a celebration of the absurd, a transformation
of ordinary objects & a simmering consomme of fact
& fiction, an ongoing series of parallel worlds. They
are an investigation into language, beginnings & ends of it,
learning & losing it, neurological case studies, alzheimers,
slippage & mis-memory. Clay is the in between bit - the
instinctive making-ness that fills in the gaps.
“Now tanglehead has nothing to say to brickface. Characters
once locked in the personalities of
hierarchical position must change as the power of
speech is lost.” - Cherry Smyth
