Watercolour on paper, 32 × 24cm
Portugal-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.
This framed, watercolour on paper is part of a body of work titled ‘Hiding Behind Gifts’. Contrasting with some of the more heavily layered, collaged pieces in the collection, it has areas of light - which serve to illuminate the figure - juxtaposed with translucent layers watercolour. It is one of a number of works where the artist’s subject protects a bird in her lap - in this case, from the ‘wildfires’ that blaze in the distance.
This work was framed in maple by The Framing Room, London, behind anti-reflective, 70% UV resistant glass. Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
