We are pleased to exhibit Elisabetta Zangrandi: Blue Constellations in the Cabin. Zangrandi's recent seascapes and landscapes range from fantastical depictions of microscopic diatoms to worlds inhabited by sharks, motorcycles, and imaginary creatures.
"So much of [Zangrandi's] work is autobiographical in nature. Yet [her] work also transcends those references, emanating a timeless quality. These scenes—whether human, animal, landscape—could almost come from any historical epoch."
Alison Gingeras
"The fantastic places and characters that inhabit my paintings often reveal themselves to me before being painted, almost suspended in their own magic."

"Time is there, suspended, vivid and complex as if it were still happening. That's when what I call my 'intelligent oddities' emerge. They are the 'memories' of events that have occurred or perhaps... have not yet manifested themselves."
