Sublime Dolls

Barbara Agreste, post-surrealist artist, much appreciated abroad for her VideoArt, is presenting for the exhibition “The sharing of difference” four paintings that dwell on the subtle dreamy line that separates life and death.

Her figures have no peace, and are representative of the uncertainty and anxiety of the contemporary human soul.

 

Fantastic, upset, and restless figures are here to remind us that the soul can be made up of many colours, even the most obscure.

Barbara’s work is an essential tile of life, her sublime dolls shed light on the fake world and fake bodies that surround us every day, and on the irremediable suffering that all this brings along.

Bambole sublimi e finzione

Barbara Agreste artista post-surrealista, apprezzata molto all’estero nella VideoArte, e’ presente nella mostra “La condivisione della differenza” con opere pittoriche tese a tracciare il confine onirico e indistinto tra la vita e la morte.

Le sue figure non hanno pace, sono rappresentative dell’incertezza e dell’inquietudine dell’animo umano nel nostro tempo.

Figure fantastiche, sconvolte, irrequiete sono qui a ricordarci che l’anima puo’ assumere ogni colore, anche quelli piu’ oscuri.

L’opera di Barbara come tassello essenziale della vita, porta alla luce nelle sue bambole sublimi la finzione che ogni giorno ci circonda e l’irrimediabile sofferenza che ne proviene.
