Beautiful Bizarre Magazine about solo show ‘Tender Wounds’

Christina Tzani‘s haunting solo show ‘Tender Wounds’ brings a new aura to GalleryX in the wake of the new year. Although as dark as many of GalleryX’s previous exhibitions, Christina’s works touch on the poignant subject of child abuse with a raw delicacy that triggers complicated emotions in the viewer. Aesthetically pleasing colours fill the powerfully stark images of hurt children; The results sensitize the viewer to the vulnerable reality for the victims of child abuse, exploring the realms of isolation, abandonment and lack of security her portraits are subjects to. Though often hard to view without discomfort, Christina’s oil paintings and ink drawings communicate a bare naked, worldwide truth that should not be ignored.
