Giovanna Orilia - Balance

This type of subject can be classified within the metaphysical aesthetic. The artistic movement founded by Giorgio de Chirico reclaims images that already exist, familiar to the collective imagination. However, it creates an effect of estrangement through the process of displacement, that is, the sudden appearance of an object outside its usual context, or through condensation, the fusion of multiple objects into a single entity. Metaphysical art is also distinguished by the ostentatiously illusory nature of its images, which in Giovanna Orilia's work is expressed in the creation of paradoxical urban scenarios.

In this case, the artist conceives the opening of a garage door, revealing the appearance of the pleated outline of a building. Giovanna Orilia's typical style places all elements in a composition so rational as to appear unreal. In this case, as in many of Giovanna Orilia's other works, the subject is placed at the center of a perfect perspective whose convergence regulates the entire surrounding space in an almost surreal manner. Giovanna Orilia's style is deliberately paradoxical and illusory in its exaltation of the architectural element. Consistently, even from a formal standpoint, her painting style is distinctly objective, devoid of pictorialism and governed by pure color tones.

Giovanna Orilia is a painter from Salerno. Her artistic output has received widespread acclaim and attracted the interest of many prominent critics, including Vittorio Sgarbi. In 2015, she held her first solo exhibition. In 2017, her retrospective exhibition "Noi" opened. That same year, she founded an association through which she teaches children to paint and draw.
