Louise Giovanelli's "Mise en scène" (2025) acquired by Walker Art Gallery

GRIMM is pleased to announce the recent acquisition of Louise Giovanelli's Mise en scène (2025) by the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool (UK).

 

The conceptual potential of Giovanelli’s paintings is often extracted from sources such as photographs, film stills, classical sculptures, and architectural details. Deftly manipulating light and form, her multivalent imagery reminds us that the classical foundations of painting remain sources of delight and innovation. Keenly attuned to the historical significance of painting as a medium and system of representation, her paintings challenge the eye by dissolving representation into carefully crafted textures and patterns.

 

The acquisition has been made possible with the generous support and donation by Liesl Fichardt and Robert Bricout.
