Tessere

An expressive urgency which others might transfer to canvas through straightforward painting, and which Roberta Furlanetto translates into 'possible objects'. Byzantine in her depth and richness of colour and compounded materials. There is nary a thread or a treatment that is not somehow also an experiment. Her work provides a rewarding sensory experience, and exists in a middle ground that is neither pure art nor mere fashion. It is a thoroughly personale language, and therefore doubly meaningful.
