Alice Faloretti's Subterranean Visions at Francesca Antonini, Rome
Alice Faloretti (Brescia, 1992; lives in Venice) presents a series of paintings inspired by the underworld at Francesca Antonini Arte Contemporanea in Rome. Her work reimagines the spectral realm of Hades and cinematic subterranean horrors, but instead of darkness, she depicts a secretive, magniloquent dimension where caves and ruggedness blend with Edenic corners lush with flora. The palette is maximal and psychedelic, though a diligent descriptive cut sometimes weighs down the vision with virtuosity. The best piece, 'La soglia prima del buio' (oil on canvas, 2023), is painted more loosely and pictorially, achieving a fully ecstatic softness.
