The Brazilian artist captures a moment of transformation in this pair of portraits-part of a series from which Alemani displayed smaller works in Venice-with plants and roots growing from the bodies of the female figures. 'She's not afraid of portraying the female body as a strong pillar of our community,' Alemani says. 'They're gorgeous.'
The Italian artist often works in sculpture and installation, but he is also a talented painter who brings a 'retro style into his figuration' while representing contemporary subject matter, Alemani says. 'His works often look like Renaissance paintings; there is a Surrealist tendency going on within his practice-and a mysterious one, too.'
