Little Red Riding Hood (Deborah Kerr) is one of the two large works the gallery names for Pia Dehne, an artist who works between painting and collage. It layers a fairy-tale archetype over the screen presence of Deborah Kerr — cultural memory and persona built up, scratched back, and rebuilt until the image feels at once glamorous and haunted.
Worked in acrylic and pastel pencil on fabric, the acrylic sets color and structure while the pencil adds line and intimate detail; the cloth lets pigment diffuse and settle, so the surface itself becomes part of the subject. At 183 × 152 cm it holds the room yet rewards close looking. A unique 2022 work, mounted on a professional wooden frame and ready to hang.
