Veronica Smirnoff @ Jessica Carlisle

Veronica Smirnoff  is a Russian artist based in London. Her paintings in this exhibition The Greater & Lesser Ways evolve out of close and intimate study of pre-Renaissance art, from ancient topography to religious icon painting. The artist’s mystical narratives are inspired by Russo-Asian folklore and Eastern story-telling, her vast landscapes depicting unchartered territories haunted by often solitary female figures; gatekeepers, perhaps, or prophets.
