Alison Jacques presents a solo exhibition of work by Italian artist Bona de Mandiargues (b.1926, Rome; d.2000, Paris).

This exhibition, the first solo show of de Mandiargues in the UK, spans over 40 years of work, from 1951-1995, showcasing paintings and mixed media assemblages as well as colour pencil and gouache works on paper. De Mandiargues’s highly charged and surreal compositions reflect her intuitive, visceral, instinctive and often autobiographical approach. She created a powerful repertoire of work filled with figures of ambiguous sexual identity, fantastical creatures and images laden with symbols, mythology, metamorphosis and dreams.
