Eugenia Vanni and Father Giuliano Vanni in Dialogue at Spaziosiena
The exhibition titled 'La firma sul fronte' is currently on view at Spaziosiena in Siena until July 6, 2019, by appointment only. It showcases the artistic dialogue between Giuliano Vanni (born 1946) and his daughter Eugenia Vanni (born 1980), centering on their painting techniques and the canvas's layers. Curated by Eugenia, the display juxtaposes her father's works from the 1980s with her contemporary pieces, highlighting the often-overlooked elements of painting. One notable work, 'La pittura intorno: lino su imprimitura nera' (2019), exemplifies this theme. The title touches on authorship, as Eugenia struggles with signing her creations. This exhibition represents their first collaborative showcase, given Giuliano's limited exhibition history.
