Zoe Kimpton, They and Theirs (Art (ATEP 2017))

They and Theirs is a series of 28 portraits depicting the subjects as an imagined character or version of themselves. Matched to particular objects, they pose within a constructed environment. In a painterly fashion, the portraits are styled according to a delicate pastel palette. Surreal elements and a sense of the bizarre blur the edge between fantasy and reality. A quirky aesthetic and subtle humour also come into play throughout the series.
