Body_Catwoman (2022) Sculpture by Antonella Castrovillari

Antonella Castrovillari aka Nue, Italian artist born in Sicily in 1993. Since she was a child she showed particular creative skills by approaching drawing and painting thanks to the teachings of her mother, a professional artist. She graduated in History of Art and Entertainment at the La Sapienza University of Rome in 2017 with full marks and began a career as a video maker and video editor, also boasting experience in the film industry, never abandoning her passion for art. In 2019 a particular event marks the beginning of his artistic career. He picks up his brushes again and begins the production of paintings with subjects inspired by Pop Art, rich in color and liveliness. The first line of "Body" paintings was created to embrace and promote "Body positivity" with the aim of breaking down the standards of beauty and acceptance spread by social media and mass media. The artist portrays shapely bodies of women, whose identity we do not know, with the exclusive purpose of attracting the viewer despite the zeroing of any contemporary aesthetic canon. The second line of paintings "Body" maintains the subject of the female body this time in the form of a sculpted bust. The artist recycles old disused mannequins to create three-dimensional works of art. The paintings on each bust follow a specific theme and are all different from each other. The characteristic features of the artist are the simplicity of the drawings, the marked black lines that define the contours and the use of very bright and bright colors.
