On the occasion of her exhibition Louise Giovanelli: A Song of Ascents at The Hepworth Wakefield, we are delighted to release a new limited edition lithographic print by Louise Giovanelli, in collaboration with Edition Copenhagen.
Plexus, 2024, presents a close-up of glossy, wavy hair, continuing her series which focuses on tight frames of wigs. The print explores light and texture, subtly suggesting the human form while transforming familiar details into something more abstract. She explains: "My works are about trying to tap into the idea of slow looking. There are paintings which engineer a kind of faster looking — where you can tell the artist is really trying to create a narrative. I resist that at all times. I try to be much more oblique and mysterious, and give as little information as possible."
Plexus, 2024, reflects the artist's interest in the sacred and the profane, and reveals the uncanny interplay between representation and materiality.
As is traditional in edition publishing, the price of the work will increase as the edition sells out.
We work with The English Framing Co. based in West Yorkshire, to provide an expert framing service for our artist edition prints.
Each frame is made by hand, using state of the art equipment, conservation level materials and FSC timbers and acrylic.
Please note if you add the framed option for shipping, it will be framed with acrylic.
Standard glass and Art Glass are available on request for in store collection only. For more information email editions@hepworthwakefield.org

Louise Giovanelli (b. 1993, London) lives and works in Manchester, UK. She studied at Städelschule, Frankfurt (2018–20) under the tutelage of Amy Sillman, having received her BA from the Manchester School of Art, UK, in 2015.
In her paintings Louise Giovanelli explores the tension between representation and materiality, figuration and abstraction, and how the mechanics of picture making shape our act of looking. Relating the contemporary to the historic, and the sacred to the profane, Giovanelli considers the significance and history of painting as a system of representation, exposing how the materiality of paint can carry and convey meaning.
