What I’d Buy and Why: Nancy Cadogan

Nancy’s latest show, “Stanza”, in Bellagio, Lake Como is a beautiful exploration of her 20-year connection to this magical place. But it’s more than that. The whole body of work is about a women’s place.

Nancy’s work features strong, contemplative women, often accompanied by books and pen and paper. These aren’t women to be looked at - they exist for themselves.

And Nancy’s unique perspectives and surreal colors make you rethink your place as viewer and as women in nature.

We’re seen landscapes through the eyes of men - Turner, Monet, Friedrich, Cole. But Nancy’s vision, like O’Keeffee and Frankenthaler, offers a refreshing, female perspective. One that is anchored, grounded and deeply embedded.
