Jessie Makinson paints carnivalesque visions of otherworldly pleasure, subverting tropes of ‘devious’ womanhood.

Stay here while I get a curse, our debut collaboration, presents a surreal reimagining of a Tudor bedroom. Power and sensuality flow between the collection of characters, rendered in a dream-like dusky palette in various states of undress – “I am interested in clothes having no relation to modesty or function.”

The 26-colour screenprint results from Makinson’s close collaboration with a team of artisan printers in London, realised at a large scale with intricate details and highlights to preserve the complexity of her original work.

Behind the scenes

Jessie Makinson1 collaborationJessie Makinson’s paintings stage carnivalesque fairy tales. Femme human-animal hybrids, sporting leopard spots, fairy wings and impish ears, appear throughout her canvases. They are surrounded by surreal architectures and interiors which morph into nature – all rendered in richly pigmented oil paint. The artist has a fluid approach to the painting process. She firstly creates an underlayer of abstract brushstrokes, and before observing the patterns that emerge to determine where and how the figures are placed.
