Elisabetta Riganti

I Settled in France at 1997. Parisian middle permitted me to approach the big works of art in museum and exhibitions and consecrate me in a personnel search in painting.


Essential language, anatomy, alternation of graphism and pictural matter, black and white and colors, are some one of the constituent elements in my artistic search of since the beginning.
I likes considering formal contrasts and associate opposite aesthetic characteristics like the regularity of surface colors and shapeless matter.
Emotion and instinct are the guide. Expression is delivered under a poetic form with rage or humor. The bodies of her characters are transparent and they absorb a surrounding reality. External and internal are on the scene at the same time.
Some real elements are put in evidence in the drawing. On impulse, the form becomes more complex.
The harmony of whole is decided by the reason that intervenes to establish an aesthetic equilibrium.
And this equilibrium is founded between spontaneity and control.
Order faces chaos.

L'immersion dans l’œuvre d'Elisabetta Riganti saisit. Grands ou moyens for...

Born in Mantue, in Italie, I studied at the Istituto d'Arte in Chiavari and obtained a school-leaving examination in 1987 and a degree in Belle Arti in Genova 1993.
My studies trained me in drawing, painting, etching, photography, and sculpting. These years allowed me to deepen my knowledge of the plastic matter in general thanks to practice and gave me a taste of the etched line with the strength of the pointe seche, of volume of clay, of a pictural matter dense, satured with colors oil or acrylic, of the light of aquarel, of the chiaro-oscuro of the charcoal or pencil.

I exhibit my work regularly for various events in Paris and in the Loiret. I took part in the collective and personnel exposition in France, Bourges (2017), Briare (2017) Germany (2005-2007-2015) Oberhausen; in Italie, Genes (2015); In Alger(2006-2007); in Mahares,Tunisie (2004) and contributed in an international workshop.
