Lidia Bachis Biography
Born in Rome where he lives and works. After his studies, first at the Art School and then at the State Mint Printing Institute, he began to frequent the Roman artistic environment. With "The Naked Lunch" solo exhibition curated by Alessandro Riva, he officially becomes part of the world of visual arts, inserting himself - beyond the many stylistic and technical differences that divide the work of each artist from that of the other - in a emerging language of Italian art, which was able to borrow from its fathers and older brothers the recovery of a cultured pictorial language. (from "lady killers and the perfect curse of the female gender." Lidia Bachis was born in the 70s, grew up through black and white TV, between videomusic and comics made in Japan, belongs to that generation of survivors of the economic boom, of the invasion of the automobile, of a new widespread well-being, which produces eternal adolescents, graduates and the unemployed, a true and own typology celebrated by cinema and by a whole series of cannibalistic writers. Among his most significant participations we remember, "the weapons of art" - from Pascali to the present day curated by the Pino Pascali Municipal Museum of Contemporary Art; the “Premio Maretti- Valerio Riva memorial” Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art Republic of San Marino; “ArtBiennal Graphic – NB-4 – State Art Museum – Novosibirsk; “Matilde Luchini” Matilde Luchini Museum – Siena; www.plot@rt.europa edited by Massimo Lupoli and Gianluca Marziani, Castello Colonna Center for Contemporary Art; “The train of art” 500 years of Italian painting – from Titian to street art – edited by Vittorio Sgarbi, Ferdinando Arrisi, Duccio Trombadori, Luca Beatrice and Chiara Canali, “Codice02” edited by Stefano Elena and Natalia De Marco – Sibille Hall Bramante Cloister – Rome.

Soon his pictorial work was accompanied by objects and videos, from the "survival kit of a metropolitan geisha" a transparent plexiglass suitcase with the essentials for a true lady, "to the portable containment chamber" a travel trunk covered in satin and foam rubber (like a real restraint chamber) inside which there is a stuffed sparrow soaked in Chanel No. 5, in the French cage of the 1950s, a sound work entitled “wie froh ich bin weg zu sei”( how happy I am to have left), a bag of feathers containing an iPod that can be listened to with headphones, the sound of which is the recording of birds singing in a forest, all inside a cage. Until the creation for the exhibition "Baby-R-" of a CD containing the soundtrack of the exhibition, a sampling of music from the 70s - Starman by David Bowie to Future Sound of Lodondon with Eyes-Pop.
