About

Francesca Pasquali ha studiato all’Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna. La sua ricerca si sviluppa a partire dall’osservazione delle forme naturali, delle quali l’artista coglie le trame strutturali e le traduce in complesse ed elaborate opere e installazioni, utilizzando spesso materiali di riuso, plastici e industriali.

Nel 2013 con altri artisti e la curatrice Ilaria Bignotti, ha fondato il movimento di arte e cultura “Resilienza italiana”, con lo scopo di sviluppare il dibattito internazionale sulla scultura di generazioni di artisti contemporanei ed emergenti.

Nel dicembre 2015 nasce il Francesca Pasquali Archive, coordinato da Ilaria Bignotti quale direttore scientifico, con lo scopo di archiviare, conservare, tutelare e promuovere la sua produzione artistica attraverso progetti in corso e in futuro da sviluppare con Enti pubblici e privati, e per diffonderne il linguaggio con innovativi sistemi di comunicazione.

 

Born in 1980, Francesca Pasquali studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in her native Bologna, where she graduated in 2006. Francesca Pasquali’s research spans in the direction of an engaging relationship between organic and inorganic, nature and culture, recycle of materials and their aesthetic redefinition. 
Her research focuses on an observation of natural shapes whose structural texture the artist emulates, transforming plastic, industrial materials into complex and elaborate objects and installations. The relationship between nature and artifice lie at the heart of Pasquali’s work which, together with her unwillingness to categorize objects, produces works that challenge the viewer’s perceptions – from hard to soft, from alien to familiar. The materials invite the viewer to touch and interact with the works, thinking again about the beauty to be found in the every-day elements. Another crucial aspect concerns the relations of her works with the environments and architectural spaces that often define and change the making of the works.

In 2013 alongside several Italian artists and curator Ilaria Bignotti, Francesca Pasquali founded the artistic and cultural movement “Resilienza italiana”, aiming to further the international debate around sculpture among the contemporary and emerging generations of artists.

In December 2015, the Francesca Pasquali Archive was founded under the Scientific Direction of Ilaria Bignotti, in order to archive, preserve and promote the artist’s works through different projects with public and private institutions, as well as to present her research through innovative systems of communication.
