Luisanna Quattrini paints visions of a timeless world that tell the truths of today. Under the shimmer of fresh colours, these truths conceal disconcerting oddities. The artist seems to cultivate a childhood of the gaze that allows the repressed of adults to be seen. On her canvases, innocence vies with regression, reasons seem to be governed by bodies, instincts dominate urbanity; in her subjects as in the material itself, fluids control the masses.
Luisanna Quattrini studied fine arts in Lima, Florence and Geneva, where she graduated from HEAD in 2005. She has exhibited at Musée des Beaux-Arts La Chaux-de-Fonds (2018), at MAMCO, Geneva (2015). She won the Federal Art Prize 2007, and the Theodor Strawinsky Art Prize 2005. She is part of the private collections of the Musée des Beaux-Arts La Chaux-de-Fonds, of the Credit Suisse, of the MAMCO, Geneva, and other private collections in Europe and America.
