Luisa Anger (Turin, 1970) is an Italian artist who lives and works between Turin and New York. Her artistic practice is developed through drawing, painting, sculpture and installations, exploring themes such as time, memory and the connection between the inner and outer worlds. Rabbia creates intense and layered works that investigate the relationship between human beings and their environment, using materials and techniques that evoke a strong emotional and symbolic charge.
In 2004, Luisa Rabbia participated in Art to Art IX with a special project for San Gimignanoa site-specific work that continues to be visible in the town. This intervention represents a unique dialogue between contemporary art and the historical fabric of the Tuscan village, emphasising the link between tradition and innovation.
An artist of international standing, Luisa Rabbia has exhibited in major institutions and art events, consolidating her role as one of the most poetic and visionary voices in contemporary art.
Born in Turin in 1970. Lives and works between New York and Milan.
His research, starting from the perceptions of the body considered as a border zone between the inside and the outside of the individual, focuses on the themes of thought, memory, the flowing of time, thus highlighting the intrinsic human fragility. Many of his important works, from "Un cuscino per parlarti" to "Ventre", from "Incubatrici" to "Ricordi", are made of silicone, a material that lends itself well to allusive play, to formal interpenetration between what is organic and what is inanimate. Man's relationship with his surroundings, but also with his inner landscape, are recurring issues in Luisa Rabbia's work. Sleep, the theme of works such as 'A Pillow to Talk to You' and 'REM', also symbolises a boundary, that which separates the unconscious from the waking state, and which is at the same time the gateway to a dimension in which man continues to learn about himself. Alongside her silicone sculptures, Luisa Rabbia is the author of performances, videos and diaprojections in which she investigates the relationship between thought and time flow. On the other hand, drawing, always present throughout her creative journey, takes on greater importance, becoming a practice that is no longer compendiary, but has its own raison d'être. After the exhibition at the Massimo Audiello Gallery in New York, Luisa Rabbia has broadened the range of her experimentation, executing a series of ceramic works where the visions of the video and drawing "Tears & blood" find a further expressive dimension.
