Mixed media and collage on paper, 183 x 113cm
Portugese-born artist Joana Galego’s images are informed by – in her words – ‘memories and feelings rather than actual events’. Firmly rooted in drawing, her paintings and works on paper are characterised by a vibrant palette and a visual language partly inspired by historical artists including Piero de la Francesca and Paul Gaugin.
This dramatic, large-scale collage is the biggest work on paper that Joana has made to date. It is created using several sheets of paper which are heavily patchworked together. The result is a textured surface that features areas of densely drawn detail alongside more painterly sections. Joana’s protagonists seem to simultaneously embrace and attempt to escape each other; they appear pinned together in a crucifix-like form but there is resistance at play.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
