I recently came across Fiona Rae's work. Her recent paintings are lush, large-scale abstractions with poppy, fluorescent lines running across the surface. Layered paint, dripping paint, imagery riffing off Anime and Asian-scroll painting make her work really fast and catchy - particularly the paintings with a deep black background foregrounded by exploding efflorescence.
Rae came to prominence in London of the late 1980s as one of the Young British Artists, a loose group of artists including Damien Hirst and Chris Ofili. To hear about her aesthetic read her interview.
