New York-born and raised painter Bambou Gili reappropriates the female body in many aspects, the women in her paintings do not have the ‘accepted’ standards.
Toronto based German-Brazilian painter Jeanine Brito’s paintings are often inspired by her recollections, but they revive on the canvases with a theatrical and surreal touch, while discussing the fragility of memories, and how they turn into merely a feeling when the details fade.
