PIECES
About
The "Pieces" exhibition project is an exploration of the fragments of existence and the ideas from the artist Matilde Piacentini.
In each of her collages, the artist crafts a composition that describes a fragmented world, unified in a unique way through her perspective. The themes she describes are also various: social reflections intertwined with personal memories or concepts, rooted in the artist's own ideologies.
The use of color holds a central role in shaping her subjects, alongside fragments of figures.
In each composition, often seemingly contradictory elements are used to highlight the positive and the negative, the light and dark, of each story or topic addressed. The juxtaposition of figures that appear to come from classic black-and-white cinema with intensely vivid and saturated tones creates a visual interplay, producing a varied yet harmonious whole, much like the phases of existence.
