WHAT WE KNOW

A leading contemporary artist from Australia, Aida Tomescu built her artistic career of distinctive and powerful paintings through the processes of layering and erasure. With an in-depth knowledge and intimate study in art history, she appropriates the structure and content of Pre, Early and Renaissance Italian painters – in particular, Giotto, Fra Angelico, Piero della Francesca as well as Titian.

WHY WE LOVE IT

Continuing her practice through the repetitive layering and application of colour, the presentation encourages you to look closely at the richness, movement and texture of the canvases. The keynote of this exhibition is established by a group of large paintings completed between 2019 and 2021. In these works, there is a higher level of intensity and nuance, and a greater subtlety in the way layers are revealed, thus prolonging the viewer’s gaze.
