Emi Avora
Emi Avora
Emi Avora was born in Greece in 1978 and currently lives and works in London, England. Avora’s paintings depict imagined ornate interiors of public spaces designed for cultural communion: theatre lobbies, opera houses, balconies and ballrooms. Avora’s images – which are partly inspired by contemporary lifestyle magazines as well as the artist’s sojourns to European castles and churches - are loosely but lovingly rendered in glazed oils and become pictures of invented history and hallowed and disintegrating beauty. Her work has been included in exhibitions at the Whitechapel Gallery in London and the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens.
