A showcase at female, from the curator-gallerist to the artists and subjects represented in painting and in sculpture, during the exhibition period a large canvas and two sculptures (resin and bronze) will be presented to convey an idea of the exhibition and a small overview of the interpretation of the artists' work. The project and the choice of works revolve around some aspects that we immediately find in the forms created, one of these intrinsic concepts is reflected in the female figure. Behind their works, there is almost always the woman, the ambition is to make the interior condition perceivable with an inward look. The concept of inside and outside the soul is the underlying theme of the artistic research presented for the occasion in the Vetrina del Banco BPM, we can identify the outside of the soul as the appearances of the everyday world in which the contemporary genre is immersed: the people of our time, us, yourselves, considered in the relationship with the existential condition, with the livable, relational space, but even more, or, even better, with the internal, psychic space, with the intimate pulsating rhythm, the inside of the soul that presses into the body, stretches its expressive surface, dictates to it the time of action, the reflective stasis, the dynamics, the gesture. A single existential sphere that dialogues with the inside and the outside which is realized in space thanks to the material processed and used by the needs of the artists on display in Pietrasanta.
FRANÇOISE DE FELICE, of Italian origins from a French father and mother, was born in Paris in 1952 where she spent her first 20 years. As a young girl she was introduced to graphic art by her grandmother who had attended an advertising seminar at the time of Chat Noir, adjacent to that of Fernand Léger. At the same time as the Sorbonne, she attended the Fine Arts as a free student. Françoise's first approach was the essential stage of Impressionism which declined in all its forms until 1982. She had to build her own personality, go off the beaten track, create her signature . Helped by the splendor of Sicilian baroque and the light of the island, she began to play between almost liquid dissolves and a thin but precise line. Style, his style, is born from chance and desire united. He makes his painting an introspective story, a way of self-analysis.
JANA BÜTTNER, was born in Austria in Salzburg in 1997 and works as a sculptor in Italy, Austria and Germany. The main focus of his work is the human figure and how to represent its state of mind. Jana feels a deep connection with the clay material, it gives her the opportunity to express herself with her bare hands. The beauty of working with a real model is that the pose constantly changes as the model moves. While this is challenging, it allows her to choose which moment she wants to capture. Its goal is to provoke emotions and create empathy in the viewer who must be involved, so that he can identify. The hyperrealism of his sculptures creates an emotional connection with those who observe them and makes us reflect on the emotions they arouse.
