Michele Fletcher’s paintings explore growth, transformation, and material instability through fluid, process-driven methods. Developed wet-into-wet within a single sustained duration, her works generate seamless yet unstable forms that hover between the organic and the synthetic.

Michele’s works ‘Daphne’ and ‘Caramel’ - named after Cedric Morris irises - are on show at BRINK until September.

From the previous post, “on the memory of past paintings” … This is one of a few works of art that I’m very fortunate to live with. It has been continuously present over a number of years; in different light, in different shadow, at different times of day, in different seasons of the year.

To live with a work of art is to become part of a temporal continuation, layered over every prior encounter, every passing before it, every conversation held in front of it, every idea that formed in its presence, every emotion it witnessed and perhaps even softly shaped.

The work is then a stratum; not of pigment, gesture and surface alone, but of accumulated everyday life. Yet it is not merely a vessel that holds; it is a threshold that defines an interior by remaining in relation to what lies beyond it.

Aby Warburg regarded images as bearers of ‘Nachleben’, the afterlife of emotional memory encoded in gestural form, surviving across time in the bodies of those who receive them. The unfurling forms, the tension between enclosure and opening, the bruised light at the centre that is neither sky nor flesh nor ground but something held between all three; these carry a charge that exceeds their visible occasion. They have passed into daily seeing, into the way analogous forms and moods in the world outside the painting are now perceived. The painting subtly reorganises the body’s archive; and in doing so it has begun to reorganise the world the body moves through.

To live with works of art is somehow to enter into a form of intimacy that has no precise parallel; not friendship, nor conversation, though it is both of those things; something closer to what Heidegger called ‘Wohnen’, dwelling; a mode of being in which one does not merely occupy a space but is gathered by it, claimed by it, oriented within it. The painting accumulates. And in accumulating, it becomes, in the most phenomenological sense, a world.

‘Unfettered’ (2021), Michele Fletcher

Tomorrow will be the final day.
Views from Michele Fletcher’s solo exhibition, Time Left Green. The show continues at T&Y Projects until Saturday, 20th December.

Executed over the last four years, the exhibition charts Fletcher’s evolving engagement with the medium. Intuitive and profoundly expressive, her luminous compositions meditate on the beguiling harmony of organic forms, as well as provoking challenging questions around humanity’s shifting relationship with the natural world.

"Time Left Green"
Exhibition Period: October 29th - December 20th, 2025
Venue: T&Y Projects, 4F, TERRADA ART COMPLEX II, Higashi-Shinagawa, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo

As part of Minor Attractions 2025 we are delighted to present a new selection of paintings by Michele Fletcher.

Fletcher's paintings trace her experience of being in the natural world. Compositionally created from bold, often bright, gestures, they vision the circularity of vegetal life, growth through blossom to decay. More than sleek depictions of a life-process, Fletcher's work formally situates a viewer central in this evolution; looking we become enveloped in Fletcher’s liquidus brush trails, noticing momentarily judders or drips, feeling an echo of the encounter that led her hand.

Join us at Minor Attractions 2025. Tuesday 14 – Saturday 18 October
