Giuditta Branconi's 'Cannon Fodder' Solo Exhibition at Collezione Maramotti Through July 2026
Giuditta Branconi's first solo exhibition, 'Cannon Fodder,' is currently at Collezione Maramotti in Reggio Emilia, Italy, running until July 26, 2026. It features her latest paintings and a large installation of painted canvases, highlighting the idea of bodies as disposable in oppressive systems. Branconi's bold painting style covers both sides of fragile fabrics and draws inspiration from high and pop culture, including literature, comics, and social media. Her work includes various motifs like hearts, chains, and butterflies, challenging established norms. Text is crucial, presented in different languages and styles, acting as a fragmented personal diary. A three-dimensional triptych offers a new perspective, and there's a book with an essay by Flavia Frigeri from the National Portrait Gallery. Collezione Maramotti continues to support emerging artists through this exhibition.
