Will Cotton discusses his first UK solo exhibition with curator Bartholomew F. Bland, Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Hudson River Museum. The exhibition, at Ronchini Gallery in London, introduces new large- scale oil on linen paintings. Based in New York, Cotton is known for his works depicting landscapes of a flawed utopia composed of sweets, pastries and melting ice cream, often occupied by pinup style models. Elegantly created and strategically composed, Cotton’s works are layered with cultural references from European 18th-century masters to American mid-century pinup painting. He makes paintings about the pure, the fragrant, the land of plenty, the desirable and the dream of perfection and complete indulgence. Through works which are sincere and masterfully executed, he uses food as an allegory for the human condition; sweets become a substitute for everything desirable and a metaphor for pure pleasure. Cotton explains: ‘Sweetness taken to an extreme degree, as it is in my paintings, becomes cloying, even repulsive and that’s where it gets interesting for me.’
