COADY

PAINTING

The strength of Coady’s paintings lies in their lack of didacticism and their preference to emphasise the raw application of colour.

Her artistry traverses the realms of sculpture and painting, engaging with socio psychological themes. At the core of COADY’s interdisciplinary practice lies an interrogation of our self-perceptions and the fragile nature of our modern mindset. Her oeuvre revolves around exploring mood dynamics, specifically the oscillations between manic and focused states. Through her work, COADY probes into issues like society’s dependence on medication and the challenges of understanding ourselves in real time.

COADY’s paintings embody a frenetic and emotive disposition, in contrast to her technically intricate pill sculptures epitomising a serene and composed mental state. The juxtaposition between these mediums reflects the intricate complexities of the human psyche, sparking candid discussions about its trials and tribulations
