Lauryn Welch: Shiver
Andrea Festa Fine Art inaugurates the solo exhibition, 鈥淪hiver鈥� By Lauryn (Red) Welch. The exhibition explores the themes of the realization of self through nature in its nocturnal ample, the surprising dialog with a subliminal that unexpectedly catches up, yet unquestionably awaits, like a sneaking twilight.
For the occasion, 12 oil and cyanotype paintings are on display.
The opening ceremony is on April 1st, from 6 to 9 p.m., and the exhibition runs through May 7th, 2025, at Lungotevere degli Altoviti 1, Rome, Italy.
The exhibition marks Welch鈥檚 first solo show in Italy. It combines a collection of narrative paintings that navigate the fragile threshold between perception, love, wonder, and also sublime anxiety.
At the heart of Shiver is an exploration of liminality鈥攖he eerie, fragile space between presence and absence, knowing and unknowing. Welch鈥檚 paintings capture the tension of fleeting encounters, dreamlike landscapes, and personal mythologies, weaving together references to literature, cinema, and New England and Balkan folklore. Through recurring imagery of night walks, spectral figures, shifting skies, and the quiet, guiding presence of birds. Even the cyanotype skeleton of each painting shifts in and out of recognition, the paint interacting with the sun-exposed surface in a shiver of recognition that vanishes as quickly as it appears.
