Description

Portia Zvavahera's paintings are a window into other realms and dimensions. Rooted in everyday life and thought, they explore emotions that manifest from beyond the earthly existence. Vivid imagery is woven with themes of life and death, pain and pleasure, isolation and connection, and love and loss. The artist draws upon a powerful visual vocabulary, featuring women, her family, and shape-shifting animals in scenes both metaphorical and fantastical. Intricate patterns taken from traditional Zimbabwean designs are also incorporated into the work. A unique process of alternating painting and printing results in images that communicate complex emotions through tension and release. This catalogue features 75 paintings, including up-close details and installation views, alongside a new essay by curator Meredith Brown and an interview with the artist Allie Biswas. The book surveys Zvavahera's work since 2017, including her contribution to the 2022 Venice Biennale.
