“Delicate fragilità” by Evita Andújar and Ilaria Gasparroni

| Studio Rossetti gallery continues its autumn exhibition season with the exhibition Delicate fragility. It is conceived as a site-specific dialogue, identified by the curator Livia Savorelli, between two artists of different generation, origin and training – Evita Andújar (Écija, Spain, 1974) and Ilaria Gasparroni (Sant’Omero, province of Teramo, 1989) – united by a common feeling about the female world, declined through an instinctual painting, with bright colors and dynamism in the work of Andújar and dissected in poetic formal essence in the marble creations of Gasparroni. A dialogue moved by assonances and dissonances, made explicit both in the shapes and in the colors – black and white shaped by the young sculptress from Abruzzo or stretched and then crossed by the fluid brushstroke of Andújar – and in the different source of inspiration of the portrayed subject and, also, in the different perception of the body and of space.Two-dimensionality and three-dimensionality coexist and integrate to represent the many facets of a figuration that takes its forms from the feminine to explain universal themes, drawing from the past as well as from the most pressing current events, from literature and philosophy as much as from the world of social networks, from the baggage of personal life as well as from the most intimate inner universe. |
The exhibition focuses its core in the reciprocal dialogue of eight works, four for each, in which the two artists question themselves on some common fragility connected to the sociality of each of us, to our “being in the world”, which so frequently is a consequence of our way of defining ourselves as individuals. The bipersonal exhibition is completed by a selection of recent works, including some new ones created for this occasion by the two artists.
Thus, being subjected to the arbitrary judgment of others, blindness as a metaphor for the impotence to “look beyond” – increasingly frequent in a world pervaded by constant insecurity and unprecedented generalized instability -, the ambivalence good/evil, the refuge in sleep as a need for escape and refreshment, take shape to represent, through the gestures of a hand as in the concealment of a face, the delicate fragility so intimately inherent to our being Men. |
