"Camilla Grimaldi Gallery announces Martina Bacigalupo’s first exhibition in the United Kingdom: Gulu Real Art Studio. The show will present an edited selection of 6 x 4 inch prints that the artist found discarded at the Gulu Real Art Studio in the city of Gulu, northern Uganda.
Bacigalupo’s collection represents a typological cross-section of Gulu’s society today-nurses, soldiers, farmers, teachers, businessmen, nuns, students, mothers, and children⎯defined through poses, clothing, and objects. Vivid and diverse, the images extend the tradition of African vernacular studio portraiture but at the same time the cut-outs create completely unconventional portraits. What remains heightens the viewer’s attention to gesture and detail, and it is through these subtle details that other markers of identity slowly reveal themselves."
