Laurina Paperina's 'From Outer Space' at Fusion Art Gallery, Turin
Laurina Paperina, pseudonym of Laura Scottini (born 1980 in Rovereto), presents her solo exhibition 'From Outer Space' at Fusion Art Gallery in Turin, running until December 3, 2016. Curated by Alfredo Sigolo, the show features paintings, graphic works, video animations, sculptures, and installations that blend reality with surreal, ironic narratives. Paperina, rooted in Street Art, employs a pop, cartoonish style to satirize society, targeting figures from Picasso to Pope Benedict XVI, Francis Alÿs, Bruce Nauman, the Beatles, Tiger Mask, E.T., and the Smurfs. Her work recalls Sticker Art, creating caricatural short-circuits within postcard-like landscapes. The gallery is located at Piazza Amedeo Peyron 9g.
