Megan Rooney 'Yellow Yellow Blue' exhibition at Thaddaeus Ropac in London

BGUK_3269575 - In her solo exhibition at Thaddaeus Ropac London, Megan Rooney presents a group of new large-scale, colourful abstract canvases, alongside a number of monumental paintings that evoke the all-encompassing scale of her public commissions and murals. In June 2024, Rooney painted a mural directly onto the walls of the galleries at Kettle's Yard, Cambridge in her major solo exhibition, Echoes & Hours, and a permanent commission by the artist can be seen in The Scalpel building in the City of London. The largest of her new works measures close to seven metres in width and three metres high. Rooney's paintings are created through a ritual of layering, sanding down and repainting as forms and colours reveal themselves, exploring the potential of abstraction as a means of storytelling. Megan Rooney: Yellow Yellow Blue will be on view at Thaddaeus Ropac gallery from 12 June – 2 August.
