With a significant historical consciousness, Young explores the nature of animals and man’s relationship to the non-human world. Whilst her watercolour landscapes evoke the legacy of ‘wilderness’, her oil paintings engage with the claustrophobic interior landscapes of zoos; drawing on a historical trajectory that informs us of zoo menageries of kings and emperors, obsessive specimen collection and presentation, and colonial imperialism.
She lives and works in London and studied at the Royal College of Art. In 2006 she won The Gilchrist Fisher Award. Recent exhibitions include: John Moores 23, The Walker, Liverpool; Between Worlds, Sartorial Contemporary Art, London; ArtFutures, Bloomberg S |
