Biography
The Art of Beatrice Cosimi has evolved on several fronts, from collage to illustration, from
photography to installation, though she maintains a common thread with the concept of handling/processing with reference to the ongoing changes of society and human being.
Her work consists in a study of the hidden truths that she tries to decipher through a manual language, made of symbols that conceal and reveal the subjects at the same time. At the base of her ideology there is an idea of concealment as a revelation more authentic than the realistic image, since it is a still image of a
thousandth fraction of what may be the complex of an inner being.
Her style, both critical and playful, aims to engage the viewer through a recreational mode, which is used to talk about deeper issues, faults, sorrows and hopes of the human soul .
The technique of sewing and the graphic sign are the means that she prefers: her works are an
investigation of contemporary society and dynamics in relationships, especially on the question of identity and individualism .
The use of the wire is intended as a binder, a line of union, and it symbolizes the bond to one another and to our own spirituality, but it also represents the lattice of memories and attachments that bind us to the earth. Even the graphic sign, which is usually a repeated element that forms a larger picture, here refers to the idea of blending and unity, and it describes the variety of human potential through the use of an obsessive line.
The studies of psychology and sociology as well as the artistic ones, led the artist to create
works that are the result of an anthropological study, an attempt to explore the powers and limits of man
and to examine how his energy is used.
