About Angela Policastro:
Angela Policastro uses painting to explore the psychological and social relationships of her subjects. Taking cue from the predecessors she finds most inspiring, including Picasso, Modigliani and Matisse, she depicts iconographic familial figures in isolated moments of repose. In her works Angela Policastro shows a deep consideration of human nature and its psychic underpinnings both formally and conceptually. She focuses on children, depicting both the solitude of youth and the spontaneity of its emotional changes. Her images evoke a universe of visions which seem to emerge from the subconscious of her subjects. She summons the viewer to reflect on notions of the collective memory and the intangibility of the experience of childhood, which are at once fixed in the image and set free for interpretive play.
Angela Policastro was born and currently resides in Torino, Italy. Her work reaches far beyond those boundaries in influence and impact and has been exhibited throughout Italy, and Europe.

Tina Wendon’s Impressions of the Inner Psyche at Agora Gallery
In her ethereal and finely detailed style of portraiture, Tina Wendon develops an expressive realism of air and mood, bringing to light a faithful interpretation and a sense not just of the subjects’ physical characteristics but of their innermost life and emotions.
