Laurina Paperina's Doomsday at Studio d'Arte Raffaelli in Trento
Laurina Paperina (Rovereto, 1980) presents 'Doomsday' at Studio d'Arte Raffaelli in Trento, running until December 10, 2016. The exhibition is divided into three sections—Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise—reinterpreted provocatively. Paintings reference classical studies (Botticelli, Goya) and current events, such as a decapitated head of the new US president, rendered in strong colors to shock and desecrate. Installations are also featured, drawing from cartoons, 1980s-90s splatter films, historical and fictional characters. The works explore dualities of good and evil, love and hate. A concurrent solo show is held at Fusion Gallery in Turin.
