Louise Giovanelli: A Song of Ascents at The Hepworth Wakefield, Wakefield 23 November 2024 — 21 April 2025 Tickets from £0.00 — Book now

Manchester-based artist Louise Giovanelli presents a new body of work at The Hepworth Wakefield this winter. Louise Giovanelli: A Song of Ascents features her signature large-scale sensual paintings alluding to contemporary worship in a multitude of ways.

While it may sounds strange to say that works of art are extremely visual, Giovanelli’s works really are – they are born from a long process of looking, choosing, cropping and layering. Here is an artist for whom colour theory is an everyday practice. Close-up the paintings’ textures are fascinating, sometimes resembling a collection of random colourful marks which then come together to create a clean, luminous composition.

For this reason, Louise Giovanelli: A Song of Ascents really must be seen in the flesh. Join the The Festive Market and after hours preview of the show (along with the opening of Forbidden Territories: 100 Years of Surreal Landscapes) on 22 November.
