statement by Serena Rossi

STATEMENT

My art is realized through informal works, I don't use brushes but random casting of colors, collage and assemblages of different materials on paper, canvas or wood supports. I explore the world of emotions through an extensive research of materials, even if different from the ones traditionally used in Fine Arts, such as industrial solvent enamels and the use of visual media including painting, sculptures and installations. I often find myself reflecting on naturalistic themes and on the alienation of city life. These thoughts have generated my cloth, nail, or plastic works on walls or on wood. With the semi-abstract form of a cloth and metal flower, I try to represent the "Feminine" that, due to her natural beauty, can grow also in the cement cracks of the cities. Another theme very interesting for me is Time, considered as physical, intangible and imaginative dimension and therefore measurable only as trace-sign-image that time leaves impressed on objects and bodies. Here the objects of daily use, like a cloth or a mat, become the subject and contents of the work, being a part of the artist's life.
