Marta Spagnoli: Order and Chaos in Painting
Marta Spagnoli, born in Verona in 1994 and currently residing in Venice, completed her studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia in 2020. In 2019, she received the first prize at Artissima for Vinitaly and was awarded second prize ex aequo at the 102nd Collettiva giovani artisti of Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa. Her notable exhibitions feature Earthly Body, Truc à faire, Italian Twist, Danae Revisited, Crossing Points (all in 2021), as well as Felicia Munera and Whiteout (2020), and Immersione Libera and Libere Tutte (2019). In a conversation with Davide Dal Sasso, she articulates her artistic approach as a blend of construction and immersion, drawing inspiration from chaos to explore themes of myth, hybridity, and nature's mutability.
