CHIARA LECCA | LICK _ 2017, A. Maggi, M. Paderni, 136 pp. Ghisla Art Collection editions

LICK. GHISLA ART COLLECTION | Locarno CH _ 2017 _ solo show

• SOLO SHOW curated by Annamaria Maggi

The work of Chiara Lecca is sharp and visionary, belonging to an ancient world, not artificial but natural, that dominates the rough truth – of which she shows, for example, the recycling of what we abhor and discard, hair or cut legs of animals, tails or even entrails … Her playfully and raw, ironic and shocking, dramatic and visionary ways of doing are highly critical of a society too often false and artificial. Her poetics is very feminine, because her way of living nature as a woman is very spontaneous and harmonious, never tragic, heroic or theoretical. Irony and eroticism blend in her work, and sometimes even shock as Chiara Lecca often uses wastes of animal of industrial production, such as ears, bladders, old fur or belts, bringing them back to their original status: the belts becoming snakes, the furs becoming animals, the entrails becoming containers. Through her works, she undermines the acquired certainties by offering to the observer a redeeming freedom of doubt.

For the occasion was be published the book LICK, Italian and English, with texts by Annamaria Maggi and Marinella Paderni. The book cover the artist’s work from her early experiences to date.

 

• MOSTRA PERSONALE a cura di Annamaria Maggi

Il lavoro di Chiara Lecca è tagliente e visionario, appartenente ad un mondo antico, non artefatto, ma naturale in cui domina la cruda verità, del quale ci propone ad esempio il riciclo di ciò che aborriamo e scartiamo, i peli o le zampe recise di animali, le code o ancora le loro interiora … Il suo fare giocoso e crudo, ironico e scioccante, drammatico e visionario è scardinante e critico nei confronti di una società spesso troppo falsa ed artificiale. La sua poetica è molto al femminile, perché il suo modo di vivere la natura da donna è molto spontaneo ed armonico, mai tragico, mai eroico e mai teorico. L’ironia e l’erotismo si fondono nei suoi lavori, destando scandalo perché Chiara Lecca utilizza spesso rifiuti e scarti della produzione industriale di origina animale: orecchie, vesciche, vecchie pellicce o cinture, riportandoli al loro status originale, le cinture tornano ad essere serpenti, le pellicce ad essere animali, le interiora ad essere contenitori. Attraverso le sue opere incrina le certezze acquisite restituendo all’osservatore la libertà salvifica del dubbio. 

Per l’occasione è stato edito il libro, LICK, bilingue italiano-inglese, con testi di Annamaria Maggi e Marinella Paderni.

Il libro copre il lavoro dell’artista dalle prime esperienze ad oggi.
