Bocabar Spring Show
Spring exhibition at Bocabar, featuring local artists Domenica de Ferranti and Lucy Portman, whose work and experience share a root in how they both reflect and observe nature.
Domenica and Lucy first shared a space in 2005 whilst training at a prestigious fine art atelier in Italy. For this show, 14 years later, they have personally selected the drawings and paintings from recent collections to exhibit together for the first time.
Lucy Portman has chosen from a range of bodies of work. Using oils and beeswax, her paintings are based on escapes out of the city to find solace in nature, to distant memories of natural worlds marked by human presence, some real, some remembered, some imagined.
is needed now More than ever
Domenica (work pictured) works mainly as a sculptor, using a combination of wax, plaster, wood, bronze and stone. For this show however, she has selected intricate 2D pen and charcoal drawings that explores her preoccupation with the natural world and its relation to humanity.
Both artists are currently based in Bristol and accept commission-based work.
