CUBO presents DUAL, a one-man painting exhibition featuring Friulian artist Vania Comoretti, who graduated in restoration with a specialisation in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice.
The exhibition hosts 36 works in watercolour, Indian ink and pastel on paper, through which the artist conducts an investigation of man, almost as if he had a magnifying glass capable of capturing the imperceptible variations of the face, intercepting the tensions produced by movements.
All of the artist's works are fuelled by a profound analytical will, a desire to represent the strength and meaning of a mapping of bodies, which in this new exhibition is based on a project consisting of six diptychs and two installations. In DUAL, the nature of the subject or the link between subjects is recognisable; the two halves placed side by side do not form a single perfect image: the dual portrait becomes a single symbiotic icon in which the similarities oscillate between different genders, ages or developmental stages.
Among the parts of the body, the FACE allows the artist to make emotional states visible through expressions, as well as blood bonds through the study of the anatomical details that most characterise us and recur in the generations of the same family. From this path, interest shifts towards a more intimate, psychoanalytic framework by investigating the 'Science of the Double': we find the presence of entities therein, of similar and opposite pairs, whose mixture constitutes the personality of the individual in its entirety and complexity.
The creation of a duality in the artistic sphere usually serves as a key to the state of mind and as a matrix from which the individual can make introspective considerations.
