Artist Veronica Fernandez opened a solo exhibition titled "Prey" at the Anat Ebgi gallery. The show features a notable shift in her practice, moving from typically monumental canvases to smaller-scale paintings that explore themes of claustrophobia, survival, and the uneasy tension between comfort and foreboding in domestic and communal spaces.
The exhibition is significant as it draws directly from Fernandez's personal history of childhood instability and homelessness, transforming these memories into a broader meditation on resilience, vulnerability, and psychological adaptation. Her work, which anonymizes figures from family photographs, creates a potent balance between the personal and the universal, offering viewers a gateway to reflect on their own experiences of confinement and community.
