This is the only book on Megan Rooney, a rising star within contemporary art today, that is currently available, and published to accompany an exhibition at Kettle''s Yard, Cambridge, from June to October 2024
Produced in close collaboration with the artist
Lavishly illustrated with reproductions of an extensive new body of work as well as key paintings from the past five years
Three new essays which explore - for the first time - Rooney''s practice to date, and her significance for contemporary painting
Megan Rooney: Echoes and Hours is the first monograph to explore the work of one of the most exciting emerging painters of her generation. Rooneys sensuous and compelling paintings reinvigorate the power of abstraction. They embody a sense of boundless energy and life, whilst reflecting the artists deep knowledge of painting and the potential of each viewers encounter. Vibrant color and gesture combine in dense, apparently infinite layers. Each canvas captures the ebb and flow of Rooneys process, from repetitive overpainting to the use of abrasives to remove pigment. This major new book accompanies Rooney''s first solo exhibition in the UK. It explores the variations in her painting practice across a series of new works made for the exhibition. The book illustrates these works including a temporary mural at Kettle''s Yard painted directly on the gallery walls, as well as documenting earlier, formative paintings. Three newly commissioned essays and an interview with the artist in her studio explore Rooney''s practice and the resonances of her hugely captivating work.
