Having connected online several years ago, on February 18 Gisela McDaniel and Avant Arte Chief Curator Gemma Rolls-Bentley met for the first time at Second Home in Los Angeles. In an intimate conversation, the pair discuss McDaniel's redress of portraiture traditions, the importance of audio accompaniment to her practice and the capacity of paintings to act as sites for collective healing.
Featuring 13 canvases painted in deference to the lunar calendar – each accompanied by an intimate audio excerpt – McDaniel's solo show Manhaga Fuuna will be open at Pilar Corrias Gallery in London until February 26.
