The artist’s “4 New Paintings” continues – or perhaps expands – on a text she wrote in 2010, “I Choose Painting”, in which she cautions us to look beyond rhetoric to what is still at stake: “a woman artist’s right to decide the manner and means of her own representation”. A potent moment in a world embroiled in complex, fractured and damaging identity politics. Thompson has not shied away from the post-menopausal female nude, nor the exploration of women’s politics of work and leisure.
