Evelyn Plaschg combines sophisticated technique and her own idiosyncratic imagery to produce a kind of painting that is figurative in ways that transcend all standard approaches.
Viscous City Louise Giovanelli
A Song of Ascents
Slide show
Louise Giovanelli paints striking hypnotic works that emit light both on a visual and metaphorical level. Her works often show mysterious objects, such as a closed curtain, a glimmering shock of hair, or the reflecting surface of a cocktail glass. There are also human figures, often women, seemingly caught in moments between awe and desperation, or about to cross over a border of experience and knowledge.
