The work is a detail reworked of my installation in 3D.
In Greek
mythology, Maenads, and Bacchantes,in
Roman mitology, were the female followers of Dionysus and the most significant
members of the Thiasus, the god's retinue. in Roman mythology after the
penchant of the equivalent Roman god, Bacchus, to wear a bassaris or fox-skin.
Their name literally translates as "raving ones” .Often the maenads were
portrayed as inspired by Dionysus into a state of ecstatic frenzy through a
combination of dancing and intoxication. During these rites, the maenads would
dress in fawn skins and carry a thyrsus, a long stick wrapped in ivy or vine
leaves and tipped with a pine cone. They would weave ivy-wreaths around their
heads or wear a bull helmet in honor of their god, and often handle or wear
snakes.
Confusion,
artwork in black and withe.
It appears
with an overlap of identical male faces but seen from different perspectives.
It was inspired by the work of Pirandello's "One, no one hundred
thousand." A single face, differently seen by the viewer to get to the end
in not knowing what his identity.
"For me the creations of Giovanna always remind me of Markus Raetz. Markus Raetz is a Swiss sculptor and conceptual artist. Like Escher he plays with perspective and illusions. Raetz made a sculpture called ‘Nichtpfeife’ (Non-Pipe), winking at the famous ‘Ceci n’ est pas une pipe’ from René Magritte. He also made a YES and NO sculpture and various other works that all have in common that the object you want to see ( a pipe, the word YES and the word NO) only will show itself when you look at it from a specific angle and sometimes also distance."
"3D Art colored, heterogeneous and communicative.
These are the adjectives that come to mind after having enjoyed her exhibition yesterday at the “The Eye Gallery “.
The colors are a characteristic feature, are not chosen at random, but they have a function of “reinforcing” the communicative aspect."
Visionary
space and Overlaps are part of a series of works drawn from my virtual installation. Some
sections from the installation images
have been exhibited at 7° Bienal de Gravura do douro in Portugal .
Dynamism,
strong contrast, the tension toward a fragmented space and moving are the inspirations
for the work.
Lines move
simultaneous visions the work is inspired by the works by the futuristic
Italian artists as Balla and Boccioni.
The
technique used by the construction of the installations in 3D with my original textures.
The virtual environment provide the opportunity to photograph the work from different
angles and perspective.
