Now in its eighth edition, the Biennale Arteinsieme continues to be fertile ground for the creativity, inclusion and promotion of young artists.
This year Rabarama sculptures are on display together with the finalist works of the national competition Biennale Arteinsieme.
Aimed at the world of school and divided into three categories - Figurative Arts, Special Books and Music - the competition aims to promote the scholastic and social integration of people with disabilities or disadvantaged by origin from other cultures.
A unique experience for young people to share the exhibition space and confront themselves with a contemporary artist. In the center the human figure, always without clothes and never naked.
Paola Epifan I, aka Rabarama , creates, sculpts, colors and gives life to figures with a classical corporeality, made unique by a masked, coated and tattooed skin. Labyrinthine plots, intertwining letters, numbers, alveoli and symbols make bodies our alter ego. Their skin is shell and essence, external and internal; the figures are dressed in uninterrupted fantasy, they do not change the motif that insists the same on the whole body. The absent-gaze subjects are immersed in their own intimate world to explore in search of the reason for their existence.
Inspired by the poetics of the testimonial artist, the students of Academies of Fine Arts, Artistic Education Institutes and Art High Schools have created multisensory sculptures, bodies in collected and reflective poses, containers of souls in continuous transformation and in contact with each other that give us back the sense of our being unique and inimitable.
The exhibition perfectly represents the image of modern man, fragmented and unsolvable , perennially in search of unity and humanity, the one that the whole world so badly needs.
The art of Rabarama was intertwined with the imagination of the little ones, who took part in the Arteinsieme Special Books competition. Skin changes and interior transformations, different materials, lines and weaves join the stories created by the pupils of the Comprehensive Institutes who have created tactile books accessible even to the blind public. Let your hands travel on the pages that will lead you to discover an unusual way of reading fairy tales.
