ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Automa-CV-21 is a small androgynous bronze bust, with a displaced face. The concept represents a mask, but this time, the mask doesn’t hide a house, it is the face the hidden one. It’s confusing what it really is and what it hides. The face seems to be ripped and removed from its place, but it is still anchored to the head. It is more of a forward projection, and this is indicated by the serene expression of this little character. It could be a robot from an Asimov tale. Francesca plays with the final touches: the head has an industrial and old look, while the face is smooth and shiny by an antique gold polish. All pieces are handmade so the patina could be a little different from the picture. The sculpture dimensions include the pedestal size.

STATEMENT: Francesca Dalla Benetta's work is characterized by mixed anatomies and forms. Human faces and bodies are combined with different textures, skins and elements, giving rise to hybrid beings. Through her aesthetics, in balance between the classic and the surreal, the artist studies the themes of transformation, sense of belonging and self-perception, the ability to adapt, stereotypes and categorization. She searches for the fine line that separates personal identity from social conventions, sanity from madness, studying the differences between perception and reality. Francesca's figures are a look inward and out of control, they are a way of containing the uncontainable. The stories of each character, isolated in an intimate and unreal dimension, are reflections on the identity of misfits and the many facets of being. As an artist, her most important task is to communicate and stimulate a different way of feeling and thinking. She mainly resorts to sculpture because it is a lasting solidity in contrast to the volatility of the mind.
