Jeanette Mundt in ‘The Rest’ at Lisson Gallery

Jeanette Mundt’s vivid red poppies look anything but innocent in this painting, testifying to the power of the plant as a drug.  Painted from an on-line source, inspired by Van Gogh’s poppies and including a hidden image of a reclining woman, this rich and seductive image speaks to the possibility of multiple sources to reconfigure as a meaningful image.  (On view in ‘The Rest’ at Lisson Gallery through Feb 16th).
