ROSELLA BARBANTE
Marsicovetere, Potenza, 1994
She currently lives and works in Paterno, Basilicata
"[…] Always satisfied and never full, not knowing where to stop, until the day, or rather the evening, when the music ceased, and the lights went out"
- The fall
Albert Camus
Rossella Barbante, a Brera Academy of Fine Arts graduate in Milan, investigates the human landscape, universally and individually understood as a place - non-place made up of layers, of evolutionary phases.
The use of different materials, layer upon layer, reveals the intention to analytically probe human existence in the new global phase, the Anthropocene, where man intervenes in an irreparable way with respect to the landscape - world.
Rossella Barbante creates works that convey a dramatic and sublime meaning, materially bringing back the inner world of mankind, now falsified by the artificiality that she has built in the new geological layer.
Thanks to the use of resin as a decisive layer, the artist allows the spectator to look at himself in the mirror and to confront both the surrounding landscape, the Anthropocene, and his own ego.
THE ARTWORKS
Sublime Artificiale
The series started in 2020 reflects on the contemporary theme of image addiction. The artist thinks philosophically about the current situation considering two aspects: the aesthetic anesthesia and the spectacle of ugliness .
