Laura Grisi: Hypothesis on Infinity
P420 is pleased to announce the solo show by the Italian artist Laura Grisi, who passed away in Rome in December. Laura Grisi鈥檚 work has always been seen as part of Italian Pop Art, but from the outset she actually ranged into various lines of current international artistic research, bringing forceful personality to her explorations.
Grisi鈥檚 nature is powerful and evocative, emotional and intense, but also always ordered and composed, governed by the laws which the artist, fascinated since childhood by her father鈥檚 passion for physics and mathematics, always glimpsed and grasped. In Pebbles (1973), Laura Grisi arranged and photographed five small stones in all of their 120 possible combinations, while in Blue Triangles (1981) a dove crosses a blue space that seems like the sky, but precisely when it appears to be about to easily complete its route, the space breaks up into multiple spaces, and others still, infinitely splitting and imprisoning the dove in an infinite space that cannot be crossed. A scientific approach to a nature that is only apparently explicable and finite, about which Laura Grisi, through her works, formulated her own hypotheses.
