Leila Rose Fanner: The Secret Garden
Leila Rose Fanner's residency in Venice has left an indelible mark on her artistic journey, culminating in a series of paintings that are as enchanting as they are evocative. The title of the exhibition, The Secret Garden, speaks directly to the primary inspiration behind her work: the hidden and lush gardens of Venice.
Through her unique artistic lens, Leila has reinterpreted these serene havens, drawing deeply from the rich flora and fauna, the mesmerizing lights, and the tranquil waters of the Venetian lagoon. Her exploration extended to the city's historical sites, where she immersed herself in the rich tapestry of Venice's history and traditions through captivating stories and intriguing facts. The multifaceted experience of Venice profoundly influenced her, enhancing both her personal and artistic growth. Inspired by the verdant landscapes she encountered, Leila embarked on an in-depth study of Venice's gardens.
Guided by a suggestion from a fellow visitor, she discovered the book The Gardens of Venice by Toto Bergamo Rossi and Marco Bay, with breathtaking photographs by Marco Valmarana. This book unveiled the hidden gems of Venice's gardens, including those inaccessible to the public, offering Leila a treasure trove of inspiration. The vivid imagery and intimate details captured in Valmarana's photographs resonated deeply with her, fueling her creative process.
Leila's previous interest in the flora and fauna of her hometown, Cape Town, seamlessly intertwines with her newfound Venetian inspirations, creating a series of artworks that are both fresh and familiar. The result is an undeniably catchy collection of extraordinary paintings, drawing viewers into the magical world she has created.
