Ian Davenport's Mirror Paintings at Luca Tommasi Gallery in Milan

British artist Ian Davenport (b. 1966) presents 'Mirrors', a solo exhibition at Luca Tommasi Gallery in Milan, featuring a new series of aluminum paintings and works on paper. The works explore symmetry and reflection, inspired by the global lockdown that began in March 2020. Davenport created 'Mirror Paintings' that evoke isolation and solitude, inviting viewers to contemplate themselves. The vibrant surfaces feature cascading colors that pool into seductive puddles at the bottom, creating a sense of immersion. The symmetry in the works aims to restore inner balance. Art historian, writer, and curator Lóránd Hegyi, who followed the exhibition, wrote the introductory essay, noting the powerful sensuality and materiality of the color structure that eliminates connotative realms while evoking virtual spaces for cultural imagination.
