Press Release

White Cube Mason’s Yard presents an exhibition of new works by Manchester-based artist Louise Giovanelli (b. 1993, London). The presentation follows the artist’s recent touring exhibition, ‘A Song of Ascents’, which opened at The Hepworth Wakefield, UK, in 2024, and her major outdoor commission for St Mary-le-Strand Church, London, last year.

Probing the tension between representation and materiality, and between figuration and abstraction, Giovanelli draws on contemporary and historical imagery, as well as sacred and profane motifs, to question the act of looking. Her paintings examine the physical qualities of paint, revealing its capacity to hold, transmit and complicate meaning.

About the Artist

Louise Giovanelli creates luminous, delicate works that reference sources from the Renaissance to movie stills. Walking the tightrope between abstraction and figuration, she examines how paint can convey meaning and how the way images are created influences how an audience looks at them.

About the Gallery

An international art powerhouse, White Cube was established in 1993 in London by art dealer Jay Jopling. In its space on Duke Street, it served as the early exhibition venue for many now internationally acclaimed British artists, including Tracey Emin, Gilbert & George, Rachel Kneebone and Antony Gormley, who still show with the gallery today.
