Press Release

Victoria Miro is delighted to present I Remember, Chantal Joffe’s fourteenth solo exhibition with the gallery. I Remember takes its title from Joe Brainard’s iconic memoir and is inspired by thelate American writer’s poetic prompts that evoke the atmosphere and time of memories.Joffe’s paintings attempt to capture the fleeting yet enduring nature of memory and how it shapesour sense of self.

‘Joe Brainard’s book always makes me list for myself the things I remember and the atmosphere and time that theyconjure. These paintings are a sort of memoir of my childhood and of my family, an attempt at a kind of time travel.When I am making them, it’s almost as if I am existing in that past.’ – Chantal Joffe

Chantal Joffe’s paintings are always attentive to narratives about connection, perception and representation, alertingus to the endless intricacies of bodily expression, the complexities of emotion and attachment, and how these changeover time. This evocative new series explores themes of memory, nostalgia and personal history to offer a reflectiveand deeply personal journey into the artist’s childhood and family life.

About the Artist

Chantal Joffe brings a combination of insight and integrity, as well as psychological and emotional force, to the genre of figurative art. Hers is a deceptively casual brushstroke. Whether in images a few inches square or ten feet high, fluidity combined with a pragmatic approach to representation seduces and disarms. Almost always depicting women or girls, sometimes in groups but recently in iconic portraits, Joffe’s paintings only waveringly adhere to their source – be it a photograph, magazine page or even a reflection in the mirror – instead reminding us that distortions of scale and form can often make a subject seem more real.
