This exhibition comprises nine recent paintings by the young Italian figurative painter Margherita Manzelli. Her paintings typically depict portraits of young women which Manzelli has met or encountered on the street. Painting from memory, Manzelli alters the proportion of their features and reduces the figures to their bare essentials. They exude inner anguish, appearing as examples of specific stages in the course of a woman’s life. Her early work had a performative element and while this is now less prominent, her work still retains the artist’s presence in the form of her distorted, eerie portraits.
