Laurina Paperina's Pop Culture Revenge in Giussano
Italian artist Laurina Paperina (born 1980 in Rovereto) presents her work as a revenge against the contemporary world through death. Her practice spans drawings, paintings, videos, and installations that draw from pop culture, particularly 1990s visual culture, to critique society with irony and sarcasm. A video shot during her exhibition 'Laurina Paperina e Albert Pinya. Wormhole' at Martina’s Gallery in Giussano (MB) shows her in her studio discussing her creative process and inspirations. The show, curated by Rossella Farinotti, runs until March 8. Paperina’s recent interests include references to Old Masters like Bosch and Bruegel.
