There is much to learn about the color, rules can’t make up and
only the application can teach. You will study how far these colors
and shades are valuable to imitate the life and color of human
flesh.
(Manuale per i dilettanti di pittura, Hoepli editore, Milano, 1951)
Riccardo Crespi gallery presents Barbecue, a solo show by the Italian artist Eugenia Vanni.
The title of the show refers ideally to the concept of meeting, an excuse for a moment of sharing
in which outlines of things could be redefined.
Eugenia Vanni’s practice, although deeply rooted in Italian tradition, arise from a direct and
profound analysis of artistic techniques in relation to current events.
The artist uses drawing, painting, printmaking, video, photography and installation to create a
routine where she can experiment new ways: these devices add meanings to the work and
become an opportunity to further investigate the expressive possibilities that are offered.
Eugenia Vanni, born in Siena in 1980, she lives and works in Siena.
