Fragmented Truths Exhibition at Velarde

This spring, Velarde Gallery presents a collection of works by artist Pippa Young. From large portrait style oils on canvas to small, exquisite works on paper, Young’s distinct realist figures act as metaphors for the challenges of contemporary life, exploring the delicate balance between the real and the imagined.

Curated to reflect Young’s thematic interests, the collection highlights the precision and layered technique behind her process, reminiscent of Renaissance painting. It also draws on strong references to the iconography of early Flemish painters, while being reimagined within a decontextualized, blank space that allows them to remain both timeless and open to questioning.
