Roberta Gulotta - In Search of Lost Time

Surrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s, encompassing all fields of artistic research. Specifically, in the visual arts, Surrealism sought to explore the human subconscious and translate it into artwork through a mechanical writing process based on dream analysis. Consequently, Surrealist artworks propose the representation of a dreamlike dimension, completely dissociated from reality. However, this representation often relies on a hyperrealistic formal rendering, precisely to paradoxically accentuate the illusory and ambiguous nature of the surreal dimension.

Painter Roberta Gulotta's subjects always relate to themes of time and the passage of time. Her works are based on an aesthetic of measuring instruments (of time and space), a beauty found in the precision of gears and mechanics. This aesthetic corresponds to an appropriate interpretative approach to the work, based on a remarkable technique for rendering the subject in a hyperrealistic manner. This suggestive and deliberately illusory representation indicates a first contact with Surrealism. The same desire to investigate spatial-temporal dynamics harks back to the traditional expressions of Surrealism, and Roberta Gulotta expresses her desire for exploration through iconographies suspended in a dreamlike dimension. This dimension presupposes the coexistence of machinery and natural elements suspended in an ethereal space. In this dimension, fairy-tale hues prevail, accentuated by the use of a golden background, reminiscent of Byzantine art.
