Small-scale paintings
Tania Pistone is a neo-abstract painter who’s simple, elegant and
harmonious canvases painted in vivid colors hide a structure of precise
writings. Tania covers her square, rectangular and oval canvases with
literary passages or long phrases taken from her journals, alternating
citations from the likes of Rilke and Freud with exclamations form Mickey
Mouse or news bites.
Tania then paints upon this literary base, so that
the presence of these words becomes the real structure of the paintings,
creating a sort of grid on which the color rests, finding in this a
subconscious esthetic and poetic resonance.
Tania Pistone was born in Sicily in 1969. She lives and works in Turin and
New York.
Her work has been exhibited at one-woman shows at the Galleria Art and Arts
in Turin in 2003, at the Galleria Cardi in Milan in 2004, and the Centro
d’Arte Allori in Reggello (Florence) in 2004.
