Anna Maria Gioja Untitled

Senza titolo (Untitled) was exhibited on the occasion of the project Per_formare una collezione (Per_forming a collection): The Show Must Go_ON, curated by Andrea Viliani at Madre in 2017. In this painting, the silhouette of the Italsider factory in Bagnoli and the movement of the clouds recall the chasm opened in the urban landscape by the social emergency. To the turmoil and rebellion of nature corresponds the inner turmoil of the artist depicted on the pictorial surface: a reaction exhibited through the use of a red stain, which evokes a pain that it ought to be shared. That is a collective wound and intimate malaise at the same time, a mute and implacable form of denunciation and resistance.
