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.

Louise Giovanelli: A Song of Ascents
Video
In her exhibition, A Song of Ascents, Louise Giovanelli explores the expansion of consciousness through spirituality and sensuality. Her colorful, hyperrealistic paintings blend classical techniques with fantastical motifs to depict emotional experiences in hedonistic scenes from theaters and working-class clubs.
