Modern Eden Gallery is excited to present the second major solo exhibition of gallery artist Brianna Angelakis. In ‘Radiance’, Angelakis reflects on childhood memories of growing up in her mother’s dress shop. These intricate and bold textiles weave and dance among the figures bringing a sense of nostalgia and enchantment. As the artist explains, “Working directly from life, I individually paint and draw the fabrics in my works through a system of collage. Combining pieces of my ripped, unraveled, and cut fabrics into compositions, I highlight the figure through ornamentation. Attracted to the aesthetic opportunities of costume, I resolved to utilize my collection of textiles as potential clothing articles. In my body of work, I create a dreamlike world where ribbons, lace, and fabrics engage with the figure, manifesting into spectacles of radiance and beauty.”
