Rosalba Parrini's Mutations on display in Siena

Scheduled in Siena, from July 26 to August 18, 2018, is Mutazioni, a solo exhibition by Rosalba Parrini, which in the spaces of Galleria Cesare Olmastroni presents thirty works created between 2017 and 2018. These are works that stem from the continuous and dynamic search for stimuli and emotions that have always been essential to the life of the Sienese artist, known in the city for having created the Palio banner of the July 2, 2014 Palio (now kept at the Contrada del Drago Museum in Siena).

For the exhibition, which is part of the ArteSiena 2018 program, a title was chosen that effectively summarizes Rosalba Parrini’s pictorial paths, which are characterized by continuous experimentation with techniques and variation of subjects always related to her fervid creativity. “All the things I live or see,” declares the artist, “I express them in the ways that they suggest to me, capturing and holding me in their imaginary spaces evoked sometimes by shapes or colors, sometimes by the sound of words or the meaning even musical of their unions. This is how images are composed in the plane and space, this is how, in my creative and technical language, I give life to the work, and the works, whatever their changing forms of expression, summarize all the knowledge and emotions that prompted and necessitated their own creation.”

The exhibition is open daily from 3:30 to 6:30 pm. Opening on July 26 at 5:30 pm. Admission is free.

Rosalba Parrini was born in Siena, where she completed her first artistic studies (at the local Duccio di Buoninsegna Art Institute), and then continued them in Florence, where she graduated from the Magistero d’Arte in Porta Romana. During his Florentine stay, at the end of the 1960s, he came into contact with the artistic avant-gardes of the time: the “Visual Poetry,” “Gestalt,” “Optical-Art” and with the groups of informal painting and from abstractionism. In Turin, at the Accademia Albertina, she then deepened her knowledge of set design and stagecraft, qualifying, again at the Savoy Academy, to teach this subject. Returning to Siena in the late 1970s, Parrini worked within a group for the study of ceramic art, acquiring manual dexterity and sensitivity in the use of clay. For many years she taught Drawing and History of Art at the Liceo Scientifico Galileo Galilei in Siena, developing, also through this activity, formative experiences of her artistic iter which has found, in recent years, the possibility of expressing itself in a more mature way and with more continuity over time. She has exhibited in solo shows in different parts of Italy, including a major exhibition at the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena between December 2014 and February 2015.
