Booklist Review
Rego's fearlessly visceral narrative paintings are unsettling amalgamations of cartoonlike drawing, fairy-tale motifs, and a forceful, even mythopoetic femaleness. When Rego describes her creative process, according to Bradley, she "does so in a language of gestural automatism," and, indeed, Rego's drawings and paintings have the weird, dreamlike energy of automatic drawing, and her human and animal figures, engaged in surreal improvisations on normal domestic activities, resonate like the archetypes they are. A dog is transformed into a deity, a haircut into a rite of passage, and every scene is sexually charged, mysterious, and urgent. Some of Rego's paintings resemble Balthus after a few stiff drinks, others are filled with writhing figures, like hallucinatory visions. There is much to ponder in these works, and Bradley and her contributors offer illuminating interpretations of the unique work of this Portuguese-born, longtime resident of London, an artist whose reputation is steadily ascending. --Donna SeamanAuthor notes provided by Syndetics
