Kate Bancroft: Crying in the mirror

Discover the work of Kate Bancroft, an emerging artist, during her first New York exhibition, ‘Crying in the mirror’, at Tappeto Volante Projects. The exhibition highlights a series of oil paintings on linen exploring vulnerability and introspection through intimate portraits. Bancroft revisits the tradition of still life, integrating elements of pop culture and 90s and 2000s romantic cinema. Her works, characterized by rich palettes and meticulous technique, explore the tension between reality and appearance, the theatrical and the intimate. The exhibition offers a reflection on self-performance and identity construction. The works, often imbued with a dark and contemplative atmosphere, draw inspiration from the techniques of the Dutch masters and surrealist influences. Free and accessible, this exhibition is a unique opportunity to discover a new voice in contemporary painting. The exhibition is open from March 25th to April 26th, 2026.
