Alice Zanin

Alice Zanin was born in 1987 in Piacenza. Self-taught artist, she experienced various means of expression amongst which painting. As of the beginning of 2012, she focused upon papier-mâché. During the first part of her production (the series “verba volant scripta…”), she developed, by using animal speech, an ironic dialogue illustrating the evanescent, temporary and changing link with the human values of oral tradition. She was able to reach results that are even more refined by removing texts from papers, in order to obtain lighter surfaces, and create chromatic counterparts among different kinds of paper. Nowadays her work – even though still sculptural – is oriented towards installations, which create, between her works and objects, a dialogue focused upon inconsistency and association of ideas.
