Barbara Fragogna's Ironic Critique of Art World at Moitre

Barbara Fragogna (born 1975, Venice) presents a solo exhibition at Galleria Moitre in Turin, conceived as an ironic, material, and intellectual critique of the glossy contemporary art world and its social conventions. The show revolves around the theme of creative failure in artistic practice. Fragogna's work spans visual arts, writing, and installations, but the exhibition focuses primarily on painting and graphic works, revealing a strong informal component that invites introspective confrontation with figurative imagery. Some paintings feature masses of color on black backgrounds, while others use dense chromatic weaves that create perspective illusions, sometimes concealing a human face. The artist's sarcastic press release-manifesto describes this as the 'Inner Dwarf,' a concept from 'filorosolia' and 'psychopomatics' representing the delirium of despair and the low eyelid of self-contortion in a pessi-optimistic key with ironic and tragic peaks.
