GENA MILANESI

As a meditation on constant states of change and transformation, Gena Milanesi’s paintings display a kind of cyclical rhythm. The structured, controlled chaos of her compositions double as a metaphor for nature itself. Her materials include charcoal, graphite, oil and oil stick. These mediums build tension across the surface of her paintings, creating a sense of presence, physicality and potency that emanates from the center of each abstract composition.

Milanesi recently presented a solo booth at Untitled in Miami with Anna Erickson Presents. Recent exhibitions include OTI, Los Angeles and upcoming shows include Kantor Gallery Los Angeles opening 26 February and Harpers Los Angeles opening 29 February. Milanesi currently works/lives in Los Angeles and guest lectures at the University of Southern California, Lloyd Grief Center for Entrepreneurial Studies.
