Biography
Giusy Lauriola lives and works in Rome. During her artistic career, she has investigated, public issues such as the Iraq war, underlining themes as the indifference to the suffering of others, manipulated needs or the power of publicity. With this work she has been invited in Poland, Lodz, as honour guest for an International festival. Moving away from the reporting of suffering she focuses her attention on her city – Rome – that she interprets with dream like visions. The next project is the work of the divine in the everyday images: the fight between Illumination and Obscurity. This project has been showed in Rome and in Montecarlo and her video art has been selected for an important Italian Award, Celeste Price. Coming back from a meaningful trip in Burkina Faso (Western Africa) a fragmentary vision was born; such as a flash, that synthesizes souvenirs, present moments and unexpected memories. Her vision has deeply changed, attracted by the essential. The combination of traditional paintings techniques and her formula of resin create new works, which show the artist’s perception of feelings and about walking in the city. With these works she has been invited in Syria for a solo exhibition in Damascus and to take part to an International Art Symposium in Idlib. In herlnext project the new perception is suspended, contemplated and coloured: she realizes works on two separated layers, canvas and plexiglass, in order to simulate movement and the 3D effect.
n the project of 2018 arose a physical and psychic urgency to work with the material: colors combined with resin on canvas. At the moment of creation, a struggle arises between his need for control and the desire to overcome it to let the resin work together with the creative impulse. Then there is the passion for female icons with the creation of fluid and evanescent bodies to transport the observer to another world. That made of dreams and uncertainties, of desires and energies. The free line joins the resin and creates fascinating chromatic and material effects: female icons are created with evanescent and fluid bodies, women that contain a magnetic aura. Sharp and sharp brushstrokes, blurred colors sometimes surreal, realistic subjects but never defined. As the artist states: "My research is to match the inner image that I see confused and in the distance, but that I know emotionally perfectly, to the work I create from time to time. It is a hidden image, inside me, indefinite, transparent, strong and fragile together ".
