This week marks the closing of the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. Curated by Cecilia Alemani, the Biennale’s main exhibition, ‘The Milk of Dreams’, features six paintings by Christina Quarles. ‘’The Milk of Dreams’ opens with a ‘time capsule’ of works by 20th-century Surrealist artists, and what Alemani describes as their “domain of the marvellous where anatomies and identities can shift and change”. 'Los Angeles-based Quarles’s paintings are a potent example of how artists continue to build on that Surrealist conception of the body: in constant movement, figures cavort, morph and warp within spaces that evoke digital landscapes and interiors, realised in high colour and flashes of pure painterly exuberance.’ –The Art Newspaper interviews Cecilia Alemani — Exhibition views: Christina Quarles in 'The Milk of Dreams', 2022 Venice Biennale.
