Bianca Raffaella

She Cannot Fade

We are pleased to present She Cannot Fade, a new series of monoprints by British artist and activist Bianca Raffaella. Following her first major solo exhibition at the gallery earlier this year, the latest presentation will see Raffaella build on the foundational themes of memory, perception, and fragility that anchor her practice.

Executed in collaboration with master printmaker Richard Spare, these innovative works push the limits of traditional printmaking, using the underexplored medium of acrylic monoprinting. Working wet-on-wet with layers of acrylic and water, Raffaella paints directly onto reflective copper plates, primarily using her fingertips, before the surface dries, capturing fleeting impressions in quick, expressive gestures. This spontaneous, tactile process reflects her lived experience of visual impairment, translating uncertainty into a physical and creative act.
