Luisa Rabbia

Luisa Rabbia’s Love features a corpus of ten artworks realized between 2009 and 2017, all acquired by the Collezione Maramotti, which has been following the artist’s research for several years. Love includes works on paper and on canvas – representing a significant transition in the artist’s work from drawing to painting – an artist’s book, and an important site-specific work realized directly on the walls of the Collezione during Rabbia’s residence. In her work Rabbia reflects on the existential condition, the connection between human beings and their environment. Her works evoke web-like membranes made of delicate markings that co-exist with abrupt breaks and amputations made with decisive lines, and with fingerprints that lead us into the heart of a nebula, a fluid and organic structure that is both intimate and social. Luisa Rabbia’s practice, rooted in drawing and realized in colored pencil, is capable of constructing instinctive narratives. The fluidity of her line within the space of the canvas or paper sustains the rhythm of her creation through an accumulation of marks capable of bringing us to a dimension that goes beyond time, into a perspective of infinite growth.
