LUSHNESS OF NATURE

15  March – 2 April 2023

Painter Errika Pontevichi shows a collection of new works on canvas. She will also present her drawings which form a fundamental part of her research.

Erikka’s paintings are bursting with life as she expressing her emotions through loose and energetic brushwork. Some areas are vibrant with little brush strokes and others are overlaid by fields of simple colour. An inner light springs from the shapes and colours, creating geometrical compositions which beckon the viewer into a journey of enjoyment, surrounded by a flourish of colour.

“In my experience, I consider painting a way of living in harmony with Nature in a flow of love. Rhythmic shapes emerge from the creative process. The layered surfaces of my work represent the layering of memories in timeless scenarios. I work intuitively allowing landscapes, still lives, trees, corners of gardens to talk to me and express themselves.”

Errika Pontevichi is an Italian artist based in London. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna Italy and worked as an assistant in the studio of artist Giancarlo Bargoni. Since moving to London, Errika has been increasingly noticed by the art world. She is showcased at Hollywood Road Gallery by Catharine Miller. Errika is shortlisted for the Jackson’s Painting Prize 2022.
