In what is proving to be quite a few months for Summer 2021 cover artist, Danielle Mckinney, the painter just opened her first solo exhibition in Italy, Fly On the Wall, at La Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Milan. Presenting new and existing works, the exhibition is a reminder of the moody, smoky and quietly profound works that Mckinney has been producing over the last few years. They are reminders of the power of individual reflection, paintings that evoke a particular mid-century backdrop but often drift into a fantasy that time and place mean almost nothing. They are dreams but also a utopian bliss that can emulate the sound of Jazz and the poetry of the beatniks.
