interna 2020

Camilla d'Errico's painting, 'interna,' is like a page torn from a storybook, rendered with soft hues and hard-edged lines. I can see her in the studio, pushing paint around, chasing an image that feels like a feeling. Look at that figure in the background, a spectral presence erupting in bands of pure, unadulterated color! Imagine d’Errico layering those lines, one after the other, until this vibrant form emerges. And then there's the pale child in the foreground, caught in a moment of quiet reflection. The contrast is striking, a dance between shadow and light, introspection and explosion. It reminds me of other painters I admire, like Kiki Smith, who use figuration to explore psychological depths. But d'Errico brings something uniquely her own to the table. Art's a conversation, right? Artists riffing off each other, taking ideas in unexpected directions. 'Interna' is an invitation to dive into that dialogue, to get lost in the artist’s world, and to find a little piece of ourselves in the process.
