Bio
Giuliana Rosso (n. 1992) vive e lavora a Torino. La sua pratica si sviluppa attraverso pittura, disegno, scultura e installazione e le relazioni che si instaurano tra di esse. La sua ricerca indaga ciò che emerge quando la percezione e il linguaggio verbale vengono destabilizzati, rendendo visibili stati emotivi, impulsi e forme di conoscenza non razionale.
La figura dell’adolescente ricorre come emblema di una condizione psicologica ed emotiva attraverso cui osservare le trasformazioni sociali del presente. Le sue opere costruiscono immagini e ambienti in cui il confine tra esperienza interiore e realtà materiale rimane permeabile: paura, desiderio, vergogna, aggressività e solitudine prendono forma attraverso presenze, metamorfosi e apparizioni.
Accanto alla pittura a olio, Rosso utilizza grafite, carboncino, gesso, papier-mâché e materiali di recupero, estendendo la pittura oltre la superficie della tela.

Giuliana Rosso (b. 1992) lives and works in Turin, Italy. Her practice develops through painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation, as well as through the relationships that emerge between them. Her research investigates what emerges when perception and verbal language are destabilized, making visible emotional states, impulses, and forms of non-rational knowledge.
The adolescent figure recurs as an emblem of a psychological and emotional condition through which to observe the social transformations of the present. Her works construct images and environments in which the boundary between inner experience and material reality remains permeable: fear, desire, shame, aggression, and loneliness take shape through presences, metamorphoses, and apparitions.
Alongside oil painting, Rosso uses graphite, charcoal, chalk, papier-mâché, and reclaimed materials, extending painting beyond the surface of the canvas.
