FOCUS ON: Aurora Pellizzi

22.03.2022 - 22.04.2022

Galerie Kandlhofer, Wien / Österreich

Pellizzi’s work playfully combines formal concepts of painting and sculpture with craft techniques. Her practice is informed by pre-industrial textile processes and materials, from natural dyeing to back-strap loom weaving. Technical constraints give way to textural, dimensional shapes and forms. Fiber is used both as a pictorial field and as the embodiment of the subject it represents. Pellizzi uses natural infusions of indigo, Brazilwood, cochineal, avocado pits, and Aztec marigold and their combinations to produce her color palette.... Humor acts as a catalyst dissipating the traditionally ascribed divide between craft and art.
