Oscillating between two narrative and aesthetic registers as different as Japanese counter-culture and the sacrificial iconography of the Aztec culture, this artist’s work takes shape in the elaboration of an intimate landscape in which, through images that are at times highly crude, at others suspended in a surreal atmosphere, she exorcises her own traumas in order to give the world a shouted expression.
Reflecting on her origins and reworking the identity narratives that accompany and characterise her biography, Liza Ambrossio, like a medium, gives life to a collection of spectres, presences and visions, sometimes terrifying and macabre, which nevertheless have the merit of making our anxieties, fears and pain visible and in some way virtually concrete.
Blood Orange is a contemporary portrait of inner and outer chaos. A journey through the monstrous, the dark, the shadowy, the demonic, which tells of the courage to go through ourselves in search of a vision, an image, through which we can fulfil our passions and torments.
