4 May - Flaminia Lizzani exhibition

On 4 May 2018 at 18:00 the opening will be held, at the Casa Internazionale delle Donne, of the solo exhibition Nidi di Donna by Flaminia Lizzani, curated by Maria Arcidiacono, in collaboration with ASIA onlus.

The title of the exhibition, casually and curiously suggested by Franco Losvizzero, who was seeing the works for the first time, plays with a change of vowel, revealing the opening of a very long story that began more than thirty years ago, in dialogue with the drawings and inks of his mother. A timeless fairy tale that only superficially and rather approximately can be reduced and judged as a monothematic exercise. Charcoal, the model, thousands of sheets with rapid, continuous strokes, never obvious framings for an endless series of frames: the artist is not interested in faithfully or academically reproducing the female anatomical geography; her approach is loving, a deep impulse which, from the lively and stubborn drive of some works, turns towards a very personal vision that touches spirituality.

Part of the proceeds from the sale of the works will be donated to ASIA.

Flaminia Lizzani was born in Rome, where she lives and works. She began drawing female nudes in 1986. After attending the Academy of Fine Arts and the Free School of the Nude, from 1993 she devoted herself to restoration work and since 2002 she has also worked as a Casting Director. In 2011 she took part in the exhibition Primo Centro, curated by Alessandra Bonomo, in the Castello Aldobrandesco in Arcidosso (GR); Nidi di Donna is her first solo exhibition.
