London-based painter Antonia Showering layers soft-edged recollections on canvas to create intimate landscapes of love.

“No memory is singular. I think the more information you learn, the more every other memory you have stored is at peril of shifting and morphing.”

Our debut edition release, Siblings, reprises an original painting centred on a pair of figures and realised in the artist’s distinctive, soothingly naturalistic palette.

International Women's Day
Siblings concludes a series of 6 editions drawn together by Avant Arte Chief Curator Gemma Rolls-Bentley to coincide with International Women's Day. Read the journal.

Behind the scenes

Antonia Showering2 collaborationsAntonia Showering’s work is acutely personal. With colour palettes inspired by the shifting seasons, she depicts friends, family and lovers in dreamy landscapes. Nostalgia emanates throughout, while the comforting-yet-uncanny settings explore notions of home and displacement informed by the artist’s mixed English, Swiss and Chinese heritage. As well as drawing inspiration from painting throughout history — ancient cave paintings, Fauvism, Edvard Munch, Tracy Emin and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye to name a few — Showering finds inspiration in her own work. “I think it’s important to look back and almost steal from your old paintings.” By repeating and elaborating on previous motifs across her entire practice she creates connections which - much like life, love and friendship - become complex networks of interrelated events.
