Janice Kerbel (London, UK), Remarkable, 2007, five silk-screen prints on campaign poster paper, 106 x 157 cm. (each), Kitchener Waterloo Art Gallery.

 

Janice Kerbel's practice often employs the framework of a "plan" and the rigourous application of existing systems in order to explore the relationship between reality and the imaginary. Her Remarkable series is a selection of prints reminiscent of fairground posters that announce the spectacular feats of improbable beings. Underwood is a series of four love letters, rendered in a typeface designed to mimic a faulty typewriter. Using text and the subtleties of reproduction, Kerbel leaves the viewer to imagine a visual equivalent of hyperbole and promise.
