🗿Scagliola imitates marble inlay using fine plaster
🍷Opening reception March 14, 6-8 PM

Jillian Verzino's paintings mimic precious marble inlay using the ancient Scagliola technique, weaving erotic botanical labyrinths that pulse with swollen, fruit-like forms. The work draws on her Neapolitan heritage and the decorative pietra dure of Catholic churches, threading themes of procreation and death through compositions that feel both sacred and sensual.
