Three major solo exhibitions by painters Louise Giovanelli, Danica Lundy, and Ilana Savdie have opened at White Cube Bermondsey.
A White Cube debut for all three, the presentations boast the gallery’s newest female talent, with Danica Lundy being the most recent artist to have joined the gallery.
Born in Canada, Danica Lundy received her MFA from the New York Academy of Art, and has since settled in the city. Compositionally complex, Lundy’s sensorial and visionary forms hone in on the varied theatre of human life. At White Cube, she presents a series of monumental paintings that delve into adolescence and the rites of passage we experience growing up.
A Yale MFA grad, Ilana Savdie joined the gallery in March (jointly represented with Kohn Gallery) and this is her first show in London. Introducing theatrical themes gleaned from the carnaval tradition of her native Colombia, Savdie creates fluid and discursive forms through the act of pouring, staining, and trapping colour into dream-like arrangements.
