Beatrice SpadeaThe Purl and Plain of Things - Arte Laguna Prize finalist
About the Item
The Purl and Plain of things connects representative and written expression.
The house is a conventional statement of safety, protection or sometimes, on the opposite, imprisonment and establishment constraints.
The two levels of image and word are interconnected, intertwined by a thread that connects two declinations of the same identity. The thread enters the paper, makes a hole and protrudes to the opposite side. The image moves into the word and vice versa.
There is a narration between the two, a periodic transformation of one into the other, each returning a diffe- rent perspective of a pivotal concept.
Like a seamstress, I create this story which has, like every history, a purl and plain. It is an invitation of rethinking about the representation of reality. It is about how we sew some aspects of the world fitting on the idea we have of it, with all the inconsistencies, expectations and prejudices we have when we approach reality.

Beatrice Spadea (b. 1995, Monza) is a visual artist based in Italy, who graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, in Milan. With her sensibility, the artist plays with the power of images to evoke surreal scenarios. Beatrice's work breaks through space and reveals an imaginative world that brings us beyond the heaviness of reality. Through the use of simple materials such as paper, aluminum and cotton threads, the artist borrows images from the natural world and reworks them according to her personal vision. Sometimes the paper is used as metaphor of a torn body, other times the aluminium acts as a mirror through which we see a sky in a room, joining the observer into a journey across the power of images. Beatrice was recently selected as a finalist for the Arte Laguna prize in Venice, 2021. Along with being selected for the Combat Prize, which awards groundbreaking and menaingful contemporary artists, in 2022.
