Silvia Recchia's First Solo Show 'Fight' in Lecce
Silvia Recchia (born 1985 in Castellana Grotte) presents her first solo exhibition, 'Fight', curated by Marinilde Giannandrea at Galleria Scaramuzza in Lecce. The show features 14 works that explore existential struggle and rebirth, inspired by Heraclitus's concept of polemos (conflict). Recchia's technique involves diluted acrylics on handmade canvases, with ethereal chromatic explosions predominantly in carmine red, evoking informal abstraction. Curator Giannandrea describes the paintings as 'constantly pervaded by a poetic tension, and in some cases sensual, with a subtext of knowledge, affections, pains, suspended between self-experience, desire, and imagination.' The exhibition highlights Recchia's 'gentle revolution' and her journey through suffering toward psychic renewal.
