Eva Robin's debut solo show 'Fragili Nascondigli per Peccatori' in Bologna

Eva Robin's, a prominent figure in Italian cinema and theater, held her first solo exhibition, 'Fragili Nascondigli per Peccatori,' at Teatri di Vita Studio in Bologna, coinciding with Artefiera. The show featured her paintings, material compositions, and assemblages using found objects, exploring themes of fragility and sin. Robin's draws inspiration from Francis Bacon's image disintegration, as well as from authors like Cocteau, Beckett, and Genet. Her works incorporate 'intrusi' (intruders) and 'rifatti' (remakes), such as 'La lumachina,' originally a Madonna. Notable pieces include 'La bisteccona,' a repurposed door painted with oil for a vivid effect, and 'Giorni felici,' inspired by Beckett's play, featuring a lamb as an intruder. The title reflects her use of painting to escape sexual obsession and emotional voids. Robin's artistic practice, long conducted in her private home-studio, now gains public recognition.
