Petit genre is an art history term for depictions of everyday life, in contrast to the grand genre of ‘important’ subjects.
These three drawings belong to a series depicting cleaners. They are painted using Prussian Blue, a highly staining pigment, with yellow acrylic accents suggesting plastic cleaning equipment.
Mopping was included in the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2019. Four further large drawings from this series are showing in Cupboard Love.
