“Annalucia Bruni is an Italian, Bristol-based artist trained as a painting restorer and decorator. With her first exhibition Materia Oscura, she presents a series of original ink and watercolours drawings, collages, and lino prints. The artworks presented are part of an ongoing research of Anna’s own raw, unfiltered sign, through which she seeked to explore lightness and exactness.”
