The women

Jane Topping’s solo exhibition The Women references paranoid gothic texts, costume and gender definition to interrogate the power play of relationships. Topping uses repetition and mirroring to highlight the anxiousness that accompanies looking and being looked at. Duty and desire, devotion and decadence are revealed in The Women through a collection of screen prints, collage and drawing. Jane Topping is a graduate of The Glasgow School of Art Painting Department. Solo exhibitions include: The Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art and Intermedia at the CCA. Topping has exhibited in group shows internationally, the most recent, The Irregular Correct: New Art From Glasgow, Fremantle Arts Centre, Australia, 2012. Topping was the recipient of The Scottish Arts Council Amsterdam Residency 2007/08 and is currently Programme Leader of Fine Art at the University of Cumbria.
