Eugenia Vanni's Tournée Paintings Question Image and Technique at Fuoricampo

Eugenia Vanni (Siena, 1980) presents a solo exhibition at Fuoricampo in Siena, featuring four large oil-on-canvas and graphite works titled Tournée. Each painting depicts a black curtain or part of it, creating a tautological and self-referential pictorial investigation. The artist employs a dialectical trick: the black curtain is not painted; rather, the light background is. This playful dichotomy between figure and ground invites viewers to question the nature of the image and the technique that produced it, engaging in a perpetual, invisible game within the space of the canvas and the time of viewing. The exhibition continues Vanni's decade-long research into the conceptual self-determination of painting.
