About

Maddalena Zadra (b. 1996, Italy) is a London based Italian artist who works across painting, drawing, printmaking, textile based installations.

Referencing a variety of cultures and historical aesthetics, she explores symbolic meaning and storytelling in her practice, creating multi-layered, open scenarios.

Maddalena often integrates different ways of mark making and its relationship with surface, exploring the limits of collage, drawing and print, inviting audience’s to explore their own understanding around the flexibility of painting, and the possibilities of paintings craftsmanship.

Maddalena Zadra will be a part of HANDS exhibition curated by Wondering People at 8 Holland Street from 13th- 19th May.
