The Artist was born in Campania in 1957. Rossana Petrillo inspires in her work the atmosphere of the "rive gauche" of the Seine, and the Belle Epoque of the lunatic parisians, excited by the force of the "chanteuses" with their long lacey skirts which flowed enthusiastically. For her productions, the artist uses a careful choice of silk and brocades instead of cold canvases which makes her work more harmonions and full of charm. Into the damasked grate, that seems to hold her "women" in a precious cage, and in the staticity that is predominantly provocate by the immobility of our own thought, makes those "figures" live reality and they renovate the relation between emotions and near or far memories they restore the climate of intimacy or of vaporous futile talkings; they recall the presence-absence of erotic objects (the sofa, the bed, the mirror, the make-up stuff...) among tables, chairs and above all among walls only apparently innocent and neutral. |
