About the Navigator series … “After visiting museums and art institutions, what stuck to my mind were all the pictures of different individuals in classic portraiture that, to me, appear a little boring and too posed. I decided to reimagine these images in my own way by making them intuitively – I didn’t sketch them out before I put them onto the paper or anything. Although I started with that concept, I enjoyed the method of making the pieces so much that I didn’t stick to it religiously. I wanted to leave the interpretation of the pieces up to the viewer. I feel like this is why I feel so drawn to drawing; I like that untold white space. It’s very literal compared to some others. Plus, in the act of drawing, like other mediums, there is this unoccupied space on the page that is very meaningful. Since drawing is such a straightforward art, I like to leave things up to interpretation.” See works here.
Laurence de Valmy
Laurence de Valmy is French born and lives in Philadelphia, USA. In 2017, she was awarded an Artist Residency at MANA Contemporary, NJ. In June 2018, de Valmy’s work was at the Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art (MUCA) in Munich, showing alongside Andy Warhol and at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia. In November 2018, she was invited to the Secret Auction of Art on a Postcard starring Marina Abramovic and her two artworks were in the top 10 of the auction. Museum Week has invited her to be the guest artist for the opening in New York of Museum Week 2019 at Michele Mariaud Gallery. Her work can be found in private collections such as Hubert Burda Collection, Abrishamchi Family Collection, Vinik Family and Eileen Kaminsky Foundation.
Artist Laurence de Valmy invites us to reflect on the links between artists through times and the relationship between Art and social media today. Inspired by the personal stories of artists, she revisits Art History through anachronic Instagram of the past. In her POST paintings, she combines iconic artworks skillfully appropriated and painted with acrylics, with imagined conversations, historically accurate yet humorous. By telling the stories behind these artworks, the artist leads us to consider them with a new eye. See works here.
Karenina Fabrizzi
Karenina Fabrizzi is an Italian artist who lives and works in Barcelona, Spain. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina where she later studied her Fine Art and Graphic Design Degree, she went on to study in several European countries including Germany, Spain and London. A keen traveller, her training later took her as far as New York, a favorite city of hers, where she spent a period as painting assistant to the American Pop artist Jeff Koons. Karenina’s work has been exhibited all over the world and is held in many private collections internationally.
“We live in a world in constant change, never having a moment for ourselves, never find the time to have some peace and tranquility. In this body of work I want it to give the observer some time to reflect, to take a big breath and simply enjoy the moment to see something beautiful. I always admire the beauty that the Italian Renaissance masterpieces evoke, you can never have enough, doesn’t matter how many times you saw them you will always feel amaze.” See works here.
