Part of Solo Exibition Curated by Giorgio Bonomi
Senigallia (AN) 2019
Stefania Piccioni, who is used to this expressive technique, is introducing here a series of works, still lives, that recently has made.
Still life is a genre of painting that represents inanimate objects or that “live” (like vegetables). There were already still lives in Ancient Rome, then there was a big production in 16th century with Caravaggio till 19th century (Cezanne, Picasso and many others).
In photography, in which “dead nature” is called “still life”, there are many styles, from advertising to artistic. Stefania Piccioni performs still lives with great aesthetic ability and makes works that provoke pleasure and doubts at the same time. On formal plan we have to notice the smart use of light, with its jolts and glimpses that make particular things stand out. Fruits and vegetables often appear consumed in her works, so the dichotomy between life and dead is stressed: this is a proof of something that once was alive, but now it is not anymore.Stefania Piccioni’s photographs make intellect meditate on ourselves and on life that is made more pleasing and worth of living by beauty.
