Anne-Laure Zevi's Drawings Blend Medieval Miniatures and Expressionism at Galleria Indipendenza

Galleria Indipendenza in Rome, housed in a late 19th-century apartment with polychrome floors and painted wooden ceilings, is presenting an exhibition of small, precious works by French artist Anne-Laure Zevi. The pieces, mounted in vintage frames selected by the artist, employ a technique that merges medieval miniature painting with early Expressionist graphic experimentation. The works demand calm and attention, revealing dense layers of color, landscapes, and figures through a network of marks. Zevi uses oil pastel, ink, watercolor, graphite, and even makeup to create surfaces that appear wooden or metallic. Collages explore tonal variations. The exhibition invites viewers into small Wunderkammer of color and poetry, where reality becomes dreamlike.
