With the inauguration set for July 4, 2025 at 6 p.m., Casa Cavazzini - Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of the city of Udine presents to the public the exhibition Trame organiche, the first solo show in Friuli Venezia Giulia by Bellunese artist Silvia Infranco. The exhibition will be on view until September 7, 2025 and represents the second appointment of the Future Life project, a cycle of exhibitions curated and promoted by the Udine museum institution.
The program aims to offer a look at contemporary artistic research capable of questioning the present and opening reflections on future scenarios, entrusting a selection of artists with the task of confronting topical issues through visual language.
Represented by Marignana Arte Gallery, Silvia Infranco brings to Udine a careful selection of works that summarize some of the most significant moments of her recent production. The installation focuses on elements that recurrently characterize her artistic practice, such as memory, matter and transformation over time. The layout of the exhibition is designed to take the visitor on a journey in which the aesthetic experience also becomes a space for meditation on the relationship between the artistic gesture and natural processes.
Infranco’s work is distinguished by an approach that combines formal research and conceptual tension. The artist employs materials such as natural pigments, ferrous oxides, woods and papers, which are treated, protected and consolidated with wax. This choice gives the works a visually dense and tactile appearance, where organicity is not only suggested but constructed through successive stages of processing, accumulation and layering. The techniques adopted reflect a practice of making that is based on reiteration and slowness, transforming operative time into symbolic time. The result is works that evoke a matter in constant evolution, capable of containing and returning traces, images, memories.
Reference to the natural cycle is a recurring component in the works presented in the exhibition. The use of materials that undergo alterations over time and the use of processes that recall sedimentation and organic transformation contribute to the construction of a visual imagery that refers to cyclicity and transience. The work is thus configured as a living organism, in which each element is part of a larger process of change and regeneration.
Attention to the material component is intertwined with a reflection on gesture, which also takes on a symbolic function, linked to an idea of care and rituality. Each work thus becomes a visual field traversed by signs, sedimentations and transparencies that suggest the presence of an implicit narrative, not made explicit but perceptible through prolonged observation. The viewer is called to activate a slowed-down gaze, to tune in to the long times of the work and its genesis.
