Rabarama, the Centro Orafo il Tarì and contemporary art: a fascinating and colourful combination.
The elegant hall of il Tarì comes alive with 14 works by the artist Rabarama.
Her sculptures depicting men, women or hybrid creatures, decorated with symbols, letters, hieroglyphics and other figures, in a variety of shapes and colours, will be on display from Friday 4 to Monday 7 October at the Centro Orafo il Tarì.
Rabarama, alias Paola Epifani, born in 1969 in Rome, Italy, is an artist who lives and works in Padua.
Rabarama creates sculptures and paintings featuring men, women or hybrid creatures, often passing for the eccentric. The skin of the subjects created by the artist is always decorated with symbols, letters, hieroglyphics and other figures in a variety of forms. The ‘membrane’, the ‘cloak’ that seems to envelop these figures constantly changes, always being enriched with new signs, symbols and metaphors.
PhilArt, in proposing this exhibition of sculptures by the artist Rabarama, presents an aesthetic, imaginative and visual itinerary to narrate the eternal flow of the process of searching for identity and the ‘treasures’ hidden in it.
It is an itinerary that starts from beauty, elegance of forms and harmony in gestures and representations of movements in space.
Through symbols and sophisticated conceptual references, the viewer of the works is invited to imagine his own visions of the human soul, knowledge and culture.
