Victoria Miro Projects is delighted to return for a second year to Untitled Art with a presentation of new and recent works by emerging female artists: Giuditta Branconi, Saskia Colwell, Konstantina Krikzoni, Tidawhitney Lek, Talia Levitt and Jemima Murphy, which celebrates recent and future Victoria Miro Projects.
This presentation is also available to view on vortic.art
Victoria Miro Projects, which launched in 2022, is an ongoing series of exhibitions by invited international artists on vortic.art. This year’s presentation highlights new and recent works by London-based artists Saskia Colwell, Konstantina Krikzoni and Jemima Murphy. Saskia Colwell will have a solo presentation at Victoria Miro, Venice in January 2025, following a residency this summer at the gallery’s Venetian studio. Colwell's charcoal on linen work presents a tightly cropped voyeuristic view of the female body, encouraging the viewer to reflect on their own psyche and the societal codes surrounding sexual desire.
Konstantina Krikzoni and Jemima Murphy both exhibited with Victoria Miro Projects this year. Shaped by her upbringing in Greece, Krikzoni’s paintings feature groups of female figures in scenes which seek to disrupt narratives within historical and classical paintings and writings to reconsider the relationship between women and nature. Identifying her works as reimagined landscapes, Murphy draws on the physicality of paint to examine and portray her own emotional experience.
The stand will also preview works byartists who will show with Victoria Miro Projects in 2025. Italian artist Giuditta Branconi paints on both sides of the canvas, incorporating rich imagery and quotations taken from historic European and contemporary Italian literature, exploring the intimacy of sibling relationships. Tidawhitney Lek uses glitter, acrylic and oil paint in large-scale compositions that examine her relationship to her family and upbringing as a first generation Cambodian American. American painter Talia Levitt’s trompe l’oeil painting contemplates the profound meaning of motherhood by referencing imagery from photographs, newspaper clippings, historical paintings and fabric.
