About the Item

Appointment is an original etching artwork realized by Paola Romano. Hand signed on the lower right in pencil and numbered edition 54/99 prints. Perfect conditions. Her artworks are characterized by great dynamism and gestures, and they are influenced by the Italian Informal art movement, pioneered by Emilio Vedova and Alberto Burri. “For the artist, painting means entering matter and color, exploring all their possibilities and reaching its declared objective: movement”. The study of technique, the research, and the experimentation integrate with her personal identity. Gianluca Ranzi asserts that “Paola Romano’s artworks breathe as a living organism, on which skin its own genetic memory is written, and on which essence the determination of its future lays”. Paola Romano was born in Monterotondo (Rome) in 1951. She studied at the RUFA (Rome University of Fine Arts), and developed her style in the Roman artistic environment; later, she opened an art studio in the suggestive ancient borough of Rome, where she currently works and dwells. Her first solo show of 2005, at the Galleria dei Leoni in Via Margutta, was followed by many important exhibitions both in Italy and abroad. Indeed, since 2000 she undertakes an active pathway in the creation of artworks with different kinds of materials. Matter, with all its possibilities of manipulation and its enthralling forms, becomes the main protagonist of her following series. Among her most important series, we find “Moons” (“Lune”), which in 2012 dominated the sky in via Margutta in Rome, the series “Planimetries” (“Planimetrie”), “Plastics” (“Plastiche”), “Zoom” (“Zoom”), the evocative series of works realized in fresco, the very celebrated bronze sculptures, and the series “Monochromes” (“Monocromi”). The aesthetic impact of Paola Romano’s artworks is strong and fascinating, and it has been noticed by some important Italian film directors and scenographers: in 2005, Pupi Avati commissioned to the artist three artworks for his film “La cena per farli conoscere”, and in 2014 one artwork from the series “Monochromes” appeared in the film “Sotto una buona stella” by Carlo Verdone. In 2012, one of her “Moons” appeared in a scenography of the theatrical play “Penso che un giorno così…” by Gianni Nazzaro. The series found a great success and fascinated also the “Gruppo Zarineh Tappeti”, which decided to produce precious fabrics inspired by a selection of the artist’s artworks, presented for the first time to the public at the exhibition “Farshe-Mah” (“Moon Carpets”) in 2015 at the Convention Center of Rome Events. In 2011, the artist participates in the 54th Venice Biennial in the Italian Pavilion at the Venice Armory, where she exhibited an important and celebrated three-dimensional installation. Worthy of mention among her solo expositions are: the exhibition at the “Cultural Center” of Hong Kong, the exhibition “Equilibri Astrali” at the historical complex of Sant’Andrea al Quirinale in Rome (2012), the solo show “Io, Paola Romano” at the new location of the Philobiblon Gallery of Rome (2013), and the double solo show “Similitudine e Contrasto” at the Vittoriano of Rome (2014). It is also possible to admire Romano’s artworks in permanent collections at the Fondazione Magna Carta in Rome and at the Sale Urbaniane in the Vatican City. Worthy of mention among her recognitions are the “Premio Internazionale Arcaista” of 2007, “Approdi d’Autore” and “Premio Roma” of 2009.
