EVENT DESCRIPTION
British artist Giovanelli’s (b.1993, London, UK) work considers the significance and history of painting as a system of representation. Titled ‘Here on Earth’, the exhibition debuts a new group of paintings in which the central female figure is doubled and repeated – frozen in a moment of ecstasy – exploring the tension between representation and materiality, figuration and abstraction.
Working from found imagery drawn from a wide range of sources, the artist seeks to isolate narratively ambiguous moments. As she explains, ‘a painting should be the beginning of something. The best paintings are those that endure in your mind – because there’s this sense of mystery to them.’
