Narcisa Monni's alter ego Rosa Carne debuts at Galleria Eugenia Delfini

Narcisa Monni presents her first solo show at Galleria Eugenia Delfini in Rome, featuring her alter ego Rosa Carne. Monni, who began her career as a conceptual artist in the early 2000s, uses painting as an immediate, fluid, and sometimes rough medium. The character Rosa Carne embodies contrasting human traits: the delicacy of pink and the strength of flesh, fragility and passion. Monni considers the titles of her works, drawn from everyday events, integral to the pieces. Her focus is on portraiture with neutral backgrounds, emphasizing dialogue between subjects and viewers. Autobiographical elements are central, with each work infused with personal experiences, loves, pains, and failures. She aims to express a sense of defeat, approached sarcastically, finding beauty in loss. The exhibition includes three series using diverse supports: magazine pages, retouched Polaroids, and acrylics on photographic paper. The 'poor' material of magazines preserves memory in a digital age, while Polaroids evoke the 1970s and 1980s. The latest series incorporates artificial intelligence. Rosa Carne bridges analog and digital worlds, reflecting a generation caught between eras. The show testifies to the vibrant moment of contemporary Italian painting.
