Bea Bonafini – Twin Waves ≈ Onde Gemelle

Operativa è orgogliosa di presentare la prima mostra personale di Bea Bonafini a Roma, Twin Waves ≈ Onde Gemelle.

Comunicato stampa

Operativa is thrilled to present the first solo show in Rome by Bea Bonafini, Twin
Waves ≈ Onde Gemelle, a new body of work interweaving engraved cork,
tapestry, drawing, ceramic and sound. The show introduces a fragmented cosmos
of fluid metamorphoses, where human and non-human boundaries melt, multiply
and collide.
Bonafini is an Italian artist living between Rome and London. Her practice is
informed by a continuous experimentation with materials and craftsmanship, often
taking form through mixed media and references. Her work spans from sculpture to
installations, combining historic iconography with modern pictorial traditions in a
sensuous yet intimate immediacy.
The works on display were conceived in Rome on the occasion of the fellowship
residency Abbey Scholar at the British School (BSR).
Bea Bonafini was born in 1990 in Bonn, Germany. Bonafini graduated at the Royal College
of Art and the Slade School of Fine Art in London and exhibited in several exhibitions. She
has recently been artist in residence at the British School at Rome (BSR), Rome (2019) and
in Platform Southwark Studio Residency, London (2019), Fibra Residency, Colombia (2019),
Fieldworks Studio Residency, London (2017) and The Beekepers Residency, Portugal (2015).
Among the latest solo shows: Chloe Salgado, Paris (2019), Bosse & Baum, London (2019),
Lychee One Gallery, London (2018), Zabludowicz Collection, London (2017).

Opening Venerdì 9 Ottobre, h 19
Operativa è orgogliosa di presentare la prima mostra personale di Bea
Bonafini a Roma, Twin Waves ≈ Onde Gemelle, una nuova serie di lavori che
intrecciano tecniche e materiali come il sughero, l’arazzo, il disegno, la
ceramica e il suono. La mostra introduce ad un cosmo frammentato di
fluide metamorfosi dove i confini tra umano e il non umano si assottigliano,
moltiplicano e collidono.
Bea Bonafini è un artista italiana che vive tra Roma e Londra, la cui ricerca si
concentra sulla sperimentazione attraverso materiali e tecniche differenti. Il
suo lavoro spazia dalla scultura all’installazione, combinando iconografia
storica e tradizioni pittoriche moderne in una sensuale ed intima
immediatezza.
I lavori in mostra sono stati realizzati a Roma in occasione della residenza
Abbey Scholar presso la British School at Rome (BSR).
