MAMOTH is very pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Brittney Leeanne Williams, on view from 28 November 2020 to 6 February 2021. This Bitter Earth presents a selection of Williams's iconic paintings depicting red, majestic women engaged in tumultuous embraces. This motif was developed during Williams’s residency at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine, and has evolved following the artist’s latest research on motherhood and legacy. Echoing Dinah Washington’s rendition of the classic R&B song, the narrative of the show leads the viewer to consider the kaleidoscopic relationship between mother and daughter on “this bitter earth”.
