The Wick List

Viewing Antonia Showering

If you haven’t yet heard of Antonia Showering, you soon will. The London-based painter, who counts Katy Hessel and Sofia Mitsola among her friends, has long been a favourite of the art glitterati but is poised for widespread acclaim thanks to her first solo show at Timothy Taylor in London.

Showering’s dreamlike compositions explore the emotional experience and the ephemeral nature of memory. ‘Paint allows me to record the cycles of time,’ she says. ‘I want to recreate intimate, universal moments drawn from my own experiences, desires and worries, but painted with enough ambiguity for the viewer to recognise something from their own realities in the work.’

Using dense, inky brushstrokes, Showering builds her canvases layer by layer. The resulting compositions are filled with coded storylines, cryptic symbols and figures she calls ‘the people I love or have loved’. Head on over and you’ll soon see what the hype’s all about.
