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.
