Upsilon Gallery, London is delighted to announce Sentire: You Are the April Sky, an exhibition celebrating the work of six extraordinary international female artists, which is open now and runs until 31 May.
The exhibition revolves around the concept of an ephemeral moment; a fleeting second that encapsulates the essence of the feminine experience. Artworks by Ava Grauls, Diane Chappalley, Epona Smith, Evie Mae Jacobs, Guan Guan and Hannah Lim shift between abstraction and figuration, exploring the delicate balance between intuition, corporeality, perception, and identity.
At the heart of this exhibition is the word ‘sentire’ (to feel), as defined by Italian writer and poet Alda Merini – a direct and deeply intimate experience of existence, often in contrast to the external world, yet inseparably connected to it. Lin Huiyin’s poetry, “You Are the April Sky in This World,” speaks of the woman as a force of renewal, warmth, and intuition – further echoing the concept of Upsilon’s Spring exhibition.
Each artwork displayed in this group show is a fragment of this moment—where a woman, through her sensitivity and intuition, reconnects with her surroundings, emotions, and body. ‘Sentire’ is never detached from the body; it is through corporeality that feminine intuition manifests, finding its own space and time in the world.
