An artist talk on the occasion of London Gallery Weekend in conjunction with Bárbara Alegre's debut UK exhibition.
About
Join us for an informal talk and walk-through of Bárbara Alegre’s exhibition, Dancing in the Sky, Waiting for the Sunset.
The artist is sharing an intimate and deeply personal body of works created over a period of almost two years, following the loss of her parents in 2020.
This series of paintings was created predominantly using make-up and face brushes her mother left behind. The imagery is often allegorical, somewhat disquieting but always tender, with a vibrancy and luminosity that arises from a conscious choice, gratitude, acceptance and hope.
Bárbara will discuss her practice, her process and the path that led to and through this body of work, touching on symbolism, the human condition and the role of creativity and art in mental health.
The event is free but booking is required through www.ioneandmann.com.
