White Cube is pleased to present Louise Giovanelli’s first solo exhibition in the city.
Louise 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.’
Giovanelli’s first museum exhibition in China takes place concurrently at He Art Museum (HEM) from 23 March until 16 June 2024.
