Maria Giovanna Morelli is an Italian contemporary artist born in Lugo (RA) in 1978.
In recent years she has taken part in more than 18 exhibitions and has been selected in national and international awards.
Maria Giovanna Morelli’s artistic work oscillates between a grotesque and monstrous imagery and a more fairy-tale world of soft figures and pastel colours. Sometimes ambiguous shapes that hint at a veiled and never explicit eroticism.
The reference to the human body often conceals an ironic approach, with a hint of cynicism that permeates her entire poduction.
The fundamental themes that run through much of her artistic research include family, motherhood and autobiographical cues. Easily readeble in the painting where figures sometimes become shapeless, fleshy masses, other thimes children’s bodies playing in geometric and flat environments that cross the domestic space.
The absolute protagonist in both painting and sculpture is colour. In painting, it is used as a material to create masses and backgrounds that leap out of space in strong bold chords, while in small sculptures it becomes a decorative element and the tonal chord becomes gentle and elegant.
In my quest I am embarking on a journey, during which I have to cross thresholds by solving their riddles.
What I realize are the keys, the solutions. Once the work is finished it is also resolved.
