Ilana Savdie is back and presents her solo exhibition, in the Los Angeles Kohn Gallery:
Entrañadas. The artist explores the few and many things that constellate one’s sense of self. Using beeswax, oil and, acrylic the artist explores the theme of identity through the fragments that make us contingent beings such as: genetic history, oral traditions, the foreign, the uncanny and for her personally the Carnaval de Barranquilla. Her paintings focus on using elements and colours that celebrate the realness of other worldliness and in hand repulses any sense of conformity or limitation. Together we discuss exploiting concepts of boundaries, penetrate the idea of beauty in her art, and transgress the confides of the materiality and the canvas, read on to find out how.
