I FEEL LOVE Painting

I FEEL LOVE 100x70cm, acrylic on canvas, 2015 At first sight, Polli’s graffiti paintings might appear like a straight copy of urban reality, directly taken from walls with a concentration of different and overlapping signs and writings. But what Polli does is a very “aware” kind of painting. An analogy to the confusing concentration of signs and the crumbling walls on which Polli often finds her subjects, she treats her canvas with the application of multiple layers; washings or scrapings of sections; another application followed by another erasing; this results in multiple simultaneous layers of the painting. Like an archeologist, Polli shows situations in which different tags compete with each other on the processed background.
