Margherita Manzelli Biography
Margherita Manzelli (1968 - ) is an Italian artist born in 1968 in Ravenna, where she lives and works. The images of his paintings represent archetypal female characters often positioned in tense positions and with the intention of restoring the figure to a set of formal pictorial values. The backgrounds of the works are almost plausible “sets” that fight with the figures. This background space has equal importance to the entire visual and creates a dynamic tension of visual rejection and acceptance between the female character and her surroundings. She is one of the most important young contemporary Italian artists. He has participated in several exhibitions including: The Bee and the Rose, Kimmerich, New York, 2011; Due, Maramotti Collection, Reggio Emilia, 2010; Orientina, greengrassi, London, 2008; Studio Guenzani, Milan, 2005; Castello di Rivoli, Rivoli, 2004; Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, 2004; Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, 2004; National Museum of 21st Century Arts, 2003; Drawings, paintings to follow, greengrassi, London, 2002; An endless sky, Studio Guenzani, Milan, 2000.
