Irma Blank's 'Life Line' at Galleria P420, Bologna
Galleria P420 in Bologna presents 'Life Line', a solo exhibition of works by Irma Blank (born 1934), who has been selected for the upcoming Venice Biennale. The show features her 'carte-tele' (paper-canvases) bisected by a central line, exploring chromatic gradations that shift from pink to violet, evoking emotional intensity and temporal progression. Blank's technique employs chiaroscuro effects, creating an abstract, centerless quality. Her 'Radical Writings' are described as feminine radiographs, open wounds that transform breath into unspoken writing, reflecting an intimate, melancholic search for self. The exhibition runs until a date not specified in the source.
