Autumn Double Exhibition

29 Sep-25 Oct 2014

Overview

Hay Hill Gallery is presenting a double exhibition this autumn, featuring the paintings of Igor Tcholaria and Natalia Gromicho. Tcholaria finds beauty in the everyday, placing porcelain-skinned women within heavily patterned backgrounds, a Modilgliani-esque take on iconography. He plays around with contrasts of volume, changing his mind between two and three dimensional effects, loud and soft colours. Natália Gromicho’s expressive technique is also concerned with the idea of perception and reality. Her canvases are as energetic as the Lisbon streets with desiccating slogans and sunset red riots, and it is easy to see the personal influence of this vivid city.
