About The Artwork
With The painting "The new Raft of Medusa", I refer directly to Gèricault's famous painting. Nearly 200 years ago, Théodore Géricault painted a masterpiece of pity that questioned the mercantilist Europe about civilization, humanity, liberty, equality and fraternity. The Raft of the Medusa (1818-19) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Raft_of_the_Medusa It is one of the most impressing paintings in the world in which the darkness at the centre of the painting seems to drag you into it. As Jonathan Jones writes in "The Guardian" :(http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/jonathanjonesblog/2015/aug/11/the-200-year-old-painting-that-puts-europes-fear-of-migrants-to-shame?CMP=share_btn_link), the parallels with today’s migrants are terrifying. But there is one appalling difference. Géricault can imagine what it was like to be in this catastrophe. His painting is a monumental attempt to force the spectactor to feel the horror of these events and the suffering of these people.We refuse that empathy to people who die trying to cross borders, who are drowned at sea". As the history repeats itself in version 2.0, I decided to paint this acrylic painting, in an almost classical style but with my typical use of divided primary colors, in order to give the painting a three-dimensional effect.

With a degree in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and another in Art History from the University of Rome, Stefania Pinsone is a skilled artist who has developed her own unique style of digital-realistic painting. Using acrylic paints with a fine brush and juxtaposing intense colors with geometric lines, she is able to reproduce her chosen subject with photographic expertise. She has been strongly influenced by the art of Gerhard Richter, whose paintings celebrate the photographic image with all its shakes and blurs, and she pays similar homage to the digital image with its disturbances such as jpeg effects, glitches, chromatic aberrations, “like,” “play,” and loading symbols, etc. Reproducing images taken from social media sites, dating websites and mass media, she has created a series of paintings, which are entirely made by hand and one of a kind, and yet they are wholly in dialogue with modern technology.
