Images with hidden wit and a lot of subtlety

Works of art at rheingold

From September to December 2019, artworks and objects by the artist Sylvia Barbolini will be on display in the rooms of the rheingold institute. The cooperation is based on the common interest in the depth-psychological dimension of the human being, which the artist deals with in her works.

Sylvia Barbolini was born in Bolzano and lives and works in Rottweil and South Tyrol. She studied painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice and at the Facultad de Bellas Artes Alonso Cano in Granada. Her works are part of public and private collections.

The spectrum of her work ranges from painterly forms of expression to collage, embroidery, monotype and silkscreen to ceramic sculptures, metal castings, carvings and installations that revolve around the representation of human nature and psyche. She approaches the tangled world of sensations with subtlety and flair, extracting entities of dreamlike consistency. Thoughts, sensations, relationships, and constraints arrange themselves into novel formations that speak to their viewers with startling authority.

The vernissage of the exhibition took place on September 12, 2019. The art exhibition was curated by Judith Behmer.

The Kölnische Rundschau reported on the exhibition.
