Giorgia Garzilli

Close but no cigar

​

April 26 - June 28, 2025

Opening Friday, April 25   18-20h

​

Giorgia Garzilli paints desire. To have and to hold and to see and depict. The paradoxes of critique become the paintings themselves. These stretched fabric objects, lathered with pigment, aspired for in the same ways as the images rendered and the ambitions the images represent. Her works are aware of their place in the luxuries of our world, a reflexivity that allows them to enjoy themselves and us them, yet always leaving friction that we might contemplate the why. Like Steinbeck’s “The Pearl of the World”, born from grit into something staggering of yearning and attraction, Garzilli’s painting offers up quests for opulence and possible cost. Visualizing what our values really might be.
