Chasing Venus comes from a consideration about the contemporary bonds and limits between beautiful and ugly, decorating and defacing, fine art and worthless painting. The artwork starts from a performance: the artist leaves a dummy on the roadside, where passers-by are encouraged to ravage it with tags and graffiti. The same dummy will be then photographed and re-drawn by the artist. The whole creative process connects those dichotomies which seem dominating the aesthetics of contemporary era: bodies that are also showroom products, ornaments that are also a self-destructive behavior (or vice versa?), and the collective anonymity of a suburban street art reworked through a thorough hyperrealism colored pencils on paper.

Born in 1996 in Milan, Italy. Representative Gallery - Punto Sull'Arte Gallery, Varese (IT). Valentina Diena’s work, which is mainly characterized by the technique of hyperrealism pencil on paper, contains the constant research of a mystical and also anthropological meaning in all those consumer goods that fill and decorate our everyday life. The artist searches and analyzes these objects as endless tiles of a single puzzle, the one of our collective memory but also of our contemporary identity, and then portray them through a thorough and detailed hyperrealism colored pencils on paper. In her drawings, the fetishization of the consumer good bumps into the very denial of the industrial product, a slow and strenuous technical process and a strong conceptual charge. The ambivalences that are typical of her research (picture - drawing, main character - walk on, appearance - meaning) direct the gaze to an endless research, while the use of colored pencils recovers and keeps alive the bond with a creative child experience that is shared and familiar to each of us.
