Girl on Girl examines a new sensibility in art. Made by girls and about girls it makes a virtue of discontent, sexual disruptiveness and bad manners. This work reclaims the girly and the slutty not in a riot girl, feminist or ‘woman in art’ way but with a cultural celebration, that has both the shy and the brash as equal role models. Think PJ Harvey, Frida Kahlo, The Slits, Karen Kilimnik, Artemisia Gentileschi, Patti Smith, Meg White, think sense of conviction and to hell with the consequences.

These girls know they’re smart, they don’t have to justify their romantic, sensitive, hesitant, angry, witty, dark, naïve, quirky work – they just make it. This show defines their new aesthetic, it’s both honest and tongue in cheek and gives a barely interested come on to any posturing males. Girl on Girl is above all not about being nice.

Liz Neal’s subject matter is often culled from fashion and consumerism; her work juxtaposing the slick and disposable with the carefully crafted and hand made. She has recently shown at One in The Other and her work is currently part of The Saatchi Gallery’s new displays.

Cathy Lomax paints the girls she becomes in her dreams and nightmares. Kim Marsh, Mary Bell and Chechen terrorists are combined and romanticised, creating a disjointed landscape of the unnatural. Cathy is the editor of art fanzine Arty and has recently been in Vaguely Romantic at Rosy Wilde

Alex Michon draws, paints, embroiders and decoupages over the pages of romantic fiction; layering images of sexual encounters, and personal disappointments she disrupts the nicey, nicey text whilst acknowledging a fascination with its romantic hinterland of imaginary fulfilment. Alex was recently in Fanclub at Rosy Wilde

Stella Vine shows a painting of that icon of beauty, goodness and wile – Diana Princess of Wales. She recently curated Snow at Transition was in Chockerfuckingblocked at Jeffery Charles and runs the Rosy Wilde gallery.

Delaine Le Bas asks “what are little girls made of” as she twists and collages her female subjects, disrupting and adding layer upon layer of meaning. “Don’t be fooled by appearances, take a closer look, laugh, be disgusted, like it, hate it but stop being one of the sheep”. Delaine is a celebrated Outsider artist, she was in Dead or Alive at James Coleman and Scritch Scratch at Transition
