Theodora Allen: Saturnine
-
Theodora Allen's first monograph, Saturnine, is now available for pre-order. Published by Motto Books and with text by Stephanie Cristello, Saturnine is released on the occasion of the artist's first solo museum exhibition at Kunsthal Aarhus in Denmark, opening on May 14, 2021.
Drawing from music, literature, myth and nature, Allen’s meditative compositions investigate themes of temporality and eternity, exploring a space between the physical world and an interior mindscape. Interweaving the artist’s emblematic use of symbols, the exhibition and accompanying catalogue engage with a history of Saturn, the celestial body said to have been the cause of a melancholic disposition—from ancient myth and the Middle Ages through to the present.

About the Artist
Theodora Allen
Theodora Allen’s paintings are quiet, restrained, and at times unsettling. Drawing from music, literature, myth and nature, Allen’s meditative compositions investigate themes of temporality and eternity, exploring a space between the physical world and an interior mindscape.
In recent bodies of work, Allen has presented images of celestial bodies, moths and serpents, delirium-inducing plants, and string-less guitars emerging from geometric structures and reliquary-like spaces. The emblems are introspective and elusive, carrying the tone of despondency and the weight of existential inquiry.

The latter’s gessoed grounds and ink base layers are applied in marbled monochromatic washes of swirling aniline grey and grisaille silver. Where these iron clouds break, uneven crepuscular cleaves of dusted alabaster light splinter through like lightning. Each work is marked by white razor blade arcs—Puckette’s signature lines. The gyrations of these serpentine, lineal furrows are first etched and then deepened with cross-hatching as Puckette further subtracts the line from the wood panel, the recesses making negative space material. -
