Gilded Lily
Description
This work was created for Pete's 2022 Don't Adjust Your Mindset Exhibition. A figure Pete regularly revisits is the archetypal grandmother: “the matriarch of the house”. He describes her as symbolising empathy through offering a “great warmth” that is intended to provide comfort and evoke loving memories.
Gilded Lily playfully subverts this familiar character by imagining how older people might look in the future given today’s styles and forms of expression. Here a millennial, or someone from the Generation Z era, gazes directly at the viewer. They hold up their arm to proudly display their body art and their ears are stretched by the plugs they once wore. The matriarchs Pete regularly paints are the ones he remembers growing up but the woman in this painting allows us a glimpse into the future.
