Oil on canvas

60 x 40 cm

VERDE employs washed oil paint on canvas to challenge classical compositions by presenting contemporary themes that break down past archetypes. Thus, the painting serves as a third dimension in which the past and present confront one another. Verde’s paintings mirror Mapplethorpe’s playful expressions of sexualities. The use of the tightly cropped frame creates an extreme closeness resulting in an uninterrupted picture frame saturated with flesh and flirty frivolity. Through her work, Verde strives to understand the world’s dynamics in which she is involved, such as gender identity and intimacy. Verde recently graduated from her MA at the City and Guilds of London Art School and has exhibited across Italy and the UK.
