NOEMI PRIOLO, (Palermo, Sicily, 1990). Lot n° 4

NOEMI PRIOLO, (Palermo, Sicily, 1990). "Disgrabeide", 2019. Resin and mixed media. Measurements: 21 x 17 x 5 cm. After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo, she moved to London, where she has been managing the studio of artists Laura Ford and Andrew Sabin. His work is based on a concentric thought capable of channeling any disturbance and charm in a close and necessary relationship between the human being and the world he perceives: a dialogue between man and the unattainable ideal of humanity framed in a sinful and guilty culture. The story of men who deny themselves the freedom to be animals, which inevitably turns reality into bestiality. Noemi confronts these themes by adopting a symbolic language. The materials she uses play a role of ancestral connection with the primitive aspect of the human being, where both the repressed unconscious and the ordinary find relief. Each thought has a form created through specific co-original elements: fabric, silicone, feathers, polystyrene, resin. Her artistic career began in the environment of the Academy of Palermo, where she participated in several group exhibitions, such as DOMINA23 at Palazzo Zino and InvasioniUrbane at Polo Riso. She was also included among the finalists of the Catel award at ScuderieAldobrandini in Frascati in 2014 and of the school award of the Fisad International Festival of Art and Design in 2015. Priolo organized her first solo exhibition in 2016 at Davide PaludettoContemporary Art in Turin.
