BIOGRAPHY
Laura Amato is an artist living and working in Rome, Italy.
Her continuing development as a painter is the result of self study and her artistic curiosity that has been enhanced by numerous travels around the world.
She focuses on the need to express emotions through the body language, sensitivity she acquired and refined during the many years passed studying classical ballet that has led the artist to the choice of transforming her body in the perfect medium for painting, in a unique technique that is her instinct direct expression.
Vivid colours to communicate intimate emotions, no brush used, only her body giving shapes to the human figures in the compositions mixing performance and body painting.
The artist merges in a visceral way with her creation.
Her distinct style is the product of the employement of various media including acrylics, collage and assemblage.
The accurate selections of the materials employed is a relevant part of her body of work: silk, feathers, chandelier’s crystals, just to name a few, merge themselves around the human figures represented. These little objects, expressing their meaning like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, help unravel the representation and, at the same time, they ground the artistic vision with their intrusions.
Her artworks have been shown and awarded in domestic and international art galleries and museums such as the Piccadilly International Art Museum in Seoul, South Korea, with the french “Société des Artistes Indépendands” as well as group shows in Zurich, Montecarlo, New York, Basel and Rome.
La sua evoluzione come pittrice si deve alla fusione interiore di studi e passione per l’arte combinato con l’innata creatività ed il desiderio di raccontarsi.
La sua ricerca artistica si focalizza nell’esigenza di comunicare attraverso l’espressività del corpo: sensibilità affinata nei tanti anni dedicati allo studio della danza classica che si trasforma nella scelta di fare del proprio corpo il medium perfetto per stendere il colore, in una tecnica che è diretta espressione dell’istinto che muove l’artista.
Colori vividi per comunicare emozioni intime, senza uso del pennello, solo il suo corpo a dare forma alle figure umane delle composizioni: il corpo ricoperto di colore diventa pennello per trasferire emozioni e sensazioni imprimendosi sulla tela in una azione performativa. L’artista si fonde così in modo viscerale con la creazione. Il suo stile si distinge per l’uso di vari media che includono i colori acrilici il collage e l’assemblage.
La particolare cura nella selezione dei materiali utilizzati diventa parte integrante delle sue opere: corallo, cristalli, sete, piume sono solo alcuni dei materiali più disparati che si fondono intorno alle figure nella composizione artistica. Come frammenti di un puzzle, questi piccoli oggetti si raccontano nel loro simbolismo, diventando fondamentali per la decodifica delle tematiche introspettive rappresentate e, al contempo, con la loro intrusione tridimensionale, ancorano al mondo reale la visione artistica.
Oltre a Roma, dove Laura Amato vive e lavora, le sue opere sono state recentemente esposte in mostre personali e collettive in musei e gallerie d’arte nazionali ed internazionali, come Zurigo, Montecarlo, New York, Basilea.
