About the Item

Untitled 2015, Ana Seggiaro From the series "Anatomy" Embroidery on printed cloth 130 cm H x 90 cm W Unframed Seggiaro's fascination for the human body, for the movement of the muscles, the bone structure, and the circulatory system coexists perfectly with the arteries of red linen, with the spills of silk and the textile vapors that Seggiaro infuses into these open bodies. In his series, the thread plays multiple roles and acquires different meanings. On his characters, the embroidery sometimes resembles a surgical seam or becomes the circulatory system of a dissected body, a fantastic intervention capable of reviving the exhumed bodies of the Dutch anatomist Bernhard Sigfried Albinus. ____ Tending relations between geographically distant cultures and, at the same time, stressing the temporal gap that separates them, is the meaning of Ana Seggiaro's work, based on the engravings of Alberto Dürer, Piranesi, and Albinus. For the artist, European art is the paradigm that she has built, from that training she has resignified her works, submitting them to her consideration and leaving an embroidered mark that marks a different path from the one originally created. In the process of creation, she takes the images that interest her, investigates their history, and answers questions such as what the artist wanted to say or if she simply made it by chance. The next thing is to photograph it and modify it digitally, either by adding color or removing details to create a collage. Once the final image has been decided, a print is made on fine art canvas to begin the hand embroidery process. In the last year, in addition to embroidering, she has decided to paint over the image. Ana Seggiaro was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Initially pictorial in nature, in its different stages, her work was exploring and incorporated new materials and media that complemented the oil and engraving that are the basis of its origin. She graduated in drawing and engraving from the Prilidiano Pueyrredón National School of Fine Arts in 1988.
