Aisha Christison - Amedeo Polazzo

 

 

Andrea Festa Fine Art is pleased to present Bittersweet Periferia, featuring Aisha Christison and Amedeo Polazzo, the gallery's first exhibition to feature a site-specific intervention.

On display, the latest works by the two artists, who share a specific processual technique, the underpainting or preparatory glazing, and an amateurish stylistic imprint, at times nostalgic and metaphysical. The duo exhibition includes small and medium-sized paintings that show settings with a peripheral and undefined character. If in Aisha Christison's work we recognize more domestic spaces, with dreamlike and childlike connotations, Amedeo Polazzo - who circulates some works through wall drawings, overflowing from the limits of the canvas - proposes horizons in which ancient elements are often superimposed on as many of an industrial nature. A common ground that frames each work in an intermediate, disorienting, liminal condition.
