The SeasSpirit

The SeasSpirit, an exhibition of new collage-paintings by Wangechi Mutu. Wangechi Mutu engages in a distinctive form of mythmaking, often connecting the human body with the natural world. For her new exhibition, the artist returns to the subject of water, a theme she has explored throughout her practice, not only as a mythical realm but also as a fragile, symbiotic ecosystem. Mutu conjures a cast of feminine water spirits – figures that are at once powerful, awe-inspiring and unsettling. Created with Venice in mind, this body of work resonates with the city’s enigmatic character – a place where land and water, history and myth, continually converge.
