Overview

Elizabeth Xi Bauer is delighted to present 'The House of Bernarda Alba', an exhibition featuring works by Elena Njoabuzia Onwochei-Garcia and Sam Llewellyn-Jones. United by themes of place, identity, and memory, Onwochei-Garcia’s work confronts contemporary surveillance, identity politics, and post-colonial narratives. Llewellyn-Jones explores the themes of landscape and material elements; his work highlights the passage of time, revealing how landscapes carry layers of history, memory, and meaning.   
 
'The House of Bernarda Alba' transforms the gallery space into an immersive indoor-outdoor experience. Onwochei-Garcia’s large, suspended paintings construct a house-like environment that guides the viewer’s movement. In turn, Llewellyn-Jones’s photographs and oil on pastel works create a foreboding landscape that surrounds and deepens the setting. Together, the artists evoke a layered space resonating with tension and unease.
