Francesca Romana - Red and blue face

The work is part of a series in which Australian-born artist Francesca Romana Pinzari plays with various media, superimposing newspaper pages or other written materials onto representations of the human figure. It's clear, therefore, that her research draws on neo-Dadaist poetics of salvaging and recontextualizing discarded objects, with a specific interest in the written page and mass media. The artist reworks all of this with a highly original aesthetic.

In this series of works, artist Francesca Romana Pinzari superimposes the human figure onto the written page in a highly distinctive and aesthetically striking manner. The female face is rendered as if it were a mechanical photographic enlargement: the image is saturated and its colors are brought to a very intense gradation. But everything is accomplished by the pictorial medium, using a transparent glaze technique that allows us to see what lies beneath. Thus, on the face, we can discern a collage of newspaper pages. The printed word merges perfectly with the human figure, imbuing it with new meanings.

Francesca Romana Pinzari (Perth – Australia, 1976) lives and works in Rome. Active on the art scene since 1999, she has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions. Among the most notable are: “Paper Boundaries,” catalogue edited by Lea Mattarella, Galleria 196 Rome; “Paper Boundaries” at The Sydney Artworld Gallery, Sydney; “Superfici mai superficiali,” curated by Gianluca Marziani, Castello Dragonetti de Torres, Pizzoli (AQ).
