Vee Speers’ characters are heroes, shamans and fighters who appear invincible. They seem to come straight out of madness, a circus, a poem, either from a distant past, or from the future. Maybe they come from a new mythology, from Mad Max or from a Tim Burton movie. The Australian artist grooms, dresses and masks her subjects. She also disguises colours. Just like those black & white movies that are colorized, she gives her portraits tints for which time leaves no trace. A necklace made of skulls and teeth, a pair of metallic wings, a horse head, wooden limbs, shears: she arms her gang, right on time, for the big battle. Trapped in these worlds where everything has fallen apart, they have no choice but to fight.
