Description
Ida Barbarigo (Venice, 1920) has a restless and curious nature, which encouraged her to spend her time wandering and roaming around en plein air in Venice and Paris. During these ecstatic walks throughout the city she experienced sudden revelations, extemporaneous encounters. Her paintings are the outcome of a series of jottings taken from life, notes of the places and scenes that captivate her most, such as cafés, terraces and squares. These walks are steeped in the ephemeral: morphologies of air slipping through the voids. She entitled these works “Passeggiate” (Walks): “I am fascinated by the strange way that a line can break away from the landscape. That point of rupture between a visible thing and something you cannot see. And it is the air that passes through it.” Some of her works are entitled ‘Passeggiata elettrica’, they refer to the electricity-charged tension in the space of her canvas.
