original oil on canvas by Antonia Showering, A promise

Antonia Showering2 collaborationsAntonia Showering’s work is acutely personal. With colour palettes inspired by the shifting seasons, she depicts friends, family and lovers in dreamy landscapes. Nostalgia emanates throughout, while the comforting-yet-uncanny settings explore notions of home and displacement informed by the artist’s mixed English, Swiss and Chinese heritage. As well as drawing inspiration from painting throughout history — ancient cave paintings, Fauvism, Edvard Munch, Tracy Emin and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye to name a few — Showering finds inspiration in her own work. “I think it’s important to look back and almost steal from your old paintings.” By repeating and elaborating on previous motifs across her entire practice she creates connections which - much like life, love and friendship - become complex networks of interrelated events.
