🇮🇹 🎨 LATEST FROM JL INTERVIEWS: ^^The Cartography of the Invisible: On the Art of Giusy Lauriola, Painter of Silent Thresholds, Architect of Interior Geographies, and Weaver of Light^^ There is a certain kind of silence that precedes a storm, and there is another — rarer, more deliberate — that follows a long exhalation. The paintings of Giusy Lauriola belong to this second silence. They do not impose themselves; they wait. And in waiting, they open. Born and working in Rome, Lauriola has spent the better part of two decades refining a visual language that moves steadily inward, away from the clamour of the social and the documentary, toward a territory where memory, the body, and emotion become indistinguishable from the light that passes through them. Her early works, rooted in photographic imagery and digital intervention, spoke of the city — its fractures, its frictions, its hurried geometries. But something in that language began to shed its skin. The urban gave way to the intimate. The sharp edge of reportage softened into the liquid drift of pigment suspended in resin.
