About
Showcasing a series of works by the 2023 Robert Walters UK New Artist prize winner Sofia Laskari, Body and Flesh invites the viewer to consider the physical and mental challenges we face as individuals.
Laskari’s work is deeply personal, offering a relatable exploration of the human experience. In this series of paintings, she experiments with vibrant colours and textures to present vast surfaces of painterly flesh. Her often claustrophobic images – where powerful self-portraiture dominates in ambiguous recurring interiors – address feelings of isolation, distress, rage and vulnerability.
Body and Flesh is Laskari’s debut solo exhibition. She recently graduated with a BA in Fine Art and has previously exhibited in group shows at APT Gallery, SPG Galleries, RBSA Gallery and London Biennale 2023.
