From 11 to 26 June 2022
The Exhibition
This exhibition, with a critical text by Sabina Ghinassi in the catalog, displays works made with fabrics, thread, plaster and alabaster; aggregations of dense and precious oils, almost a poetic ignition, an opening of the horizon, a sudden expansion of the heart. Andrea Hess's past is also marked by an education at the School of Fashion and Costume in Germany and by a coup de foudre for mosaic in Ravenna, many years ago, a city that has become over the years a place of affection, a second home for heart to return to. Here, while studying at the Academy of Fine Arts, she began an even more tactile and affective relationship with the materials, through a gesture that was able to build soft relationships between the surfaces, with scratches, light engravings, caresses and an always precious color. luminescent like a fairy tale.
