La caract\u00e9ristique des recherches de Serena Fineschi, c\u2019est qu\u2019elle travaille ses \u0153uvres, ses mati\u00e8res, ses mat\u00e9riaux au corps, dans une confrontation tr\u00e8s physique qui les pousse dans leurs derniers retranchements.<\/span> Longtemps, son travail s\u2019est collet\u00e9 \u00e0 la surface souvent plane d\u2019une mati\u00e8re \u2011 et au papier en particulier \u2011 pour en faire ressortir le potentiel \u2011 sculptural ou pictural \u2011 plastique en tout cas, et expressif. Dans ce corps \u00e0 corps, dans ce travail d\u2019usure qui, en s\u2019arr\u00eatant juste avant le point de rupture, m\u00e9tamorphose et transmue le mat\u00e9riau, s\u2019op\u00e8re un transfert m\u00e9taphorique, mais aussi direct et effectif, de l\u2019artiste \u00e0 son \u0153uvre et vice\u2011versa. Longtemps aussi, et c\u2019est l\u2019un des paradoxes de ses \u0153uvres, Serena Fineschi a op\u00e9r\u00e9 par soustractions, par usures, froissements et autres abrasements afin de conf\u00e9rer une vie et une spatialit\u00e9 sculpturales \u00e0 ses pi\u00e8ces. C\u2019est cette tension dialectique qui est \u00e0 l\u2019\u0153uvre dans Morsi, une simple feuille de papier blanc qui porte l\u2019empreinte des morsures de la bouche de l\u2019artiste.<\/span> En 2018, elle initia une s\u00e9rie de nouvelles productions proc\u00e9dant par adjonction de mati\u00e8re, mais une mati\u00e8re soigneusement et lentement pr\u00e9par\u00e9e, ou assimil\u00e9e corporellement et restitu\u00e9e par l\u2019artiste. C\u2019est ce qui se passe dans Kisses from Hell<\/em>, des empreintes de rouge \u00e0 l\u00e8vres d\u2019un baiser que l\u2019artiste fait avec un orifice distinct de sa bouche,<\/span> suscitant \u00e0 l\u2019instar d\u2019un Wim Delvoye, une r\u00e9flexion critique, sociale et politique implicite. Le geste cr\u00e9atif pr\u00e9sidant \u00e0 la plupart des cr\u00e9ations et hommages picturaux de Fineschi (d\u00e9tourn\u00e9s de genres, courants et styles divers) assume d\u00e8s lors une valeur m\u00e9taphorique directe, d\u2019une ironie criante, tout en nous amenant \u00e0 reconsid\u00e9rer dans son ambivalence le r\u00f4le et l\u2019importance du d\u00e9bris, du d\u00e9chet, de ces fragments de m\u00e9moires et d\u2019histoires, souvent n\u00e9glig\u00e9s ou mis de c\u00f4t\u00e9. Au\u2011del\u00e0, ce positionnement est aussi porteur d\u2019un message de confiance et d\u2019espoir : d\u2019un espoir en cette capacit\u00e9 que nous avons \u00e0 (nous) r\u00e9g\u00e9n\u00e9rer, \u00e0 redonner vie \u00e0 notre environnement individuel, social, esth\u00e9tique, politique, en nous concentrant \u00e0 nouveau sur les gestes et processus fondamentaux de digestion, d\u2019assimilation et de restitution cr\u00e9atives : comme une invitation \u00e0 vivre le corps, la mati\u00e8re, l\u2019esprit et le temps dans une pleine conscience de leur \u00e9volution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hallmark of Serena Fineschi’s explorations is that she intensively works her pieces, her subjects, her materials, in a very physical confrontation that pushes them to their furthest point.<\/span> For a long time, her work has stuck to the often-flat surface of a material – and to paper in particular – to bring out its potential – sculptural or pictorial – in any case plastic, and expressive. In this body to body, in this work of wear and tear which, by stopping just before the breaking point, metamorphoses and transmutes the material, a metaphorical, but also direct and effective transfer takes place from the artist to her work and vice versa. For a long time too, and this is one of the paradoxes of her works, Serena Fineschi operated by a process of subtraction, by wear, crumpling and other abrasions in order to confer a sculptural life and spatiality to her pieces. It is this dialectical tension that is at play in Morsi<\/em>, a simple sheet of white paper that bears the imprint of the bites of the artist’s mouth.<\/span> In 2018, she initiated a series of new productions that proceeded by adding material, but material that was carefully and slowly prepared, or assimilated in the body and restored by the artist. This is what happens in Kisses from Hell<\/em>, lipstick prints of a kiss the artist makes with an orifice quite distinct from her mouth,<\/span> provoking, not unlike Wim Delvoye, an implicit critical, social and political reflection. The creative gesture presiding over most of Fineschi’s creations and pictorial tributes (taken from various genres, currents and styles) therefore assumes a direct metaphorical value, of glaring irony, while leading us to reconsider in its ambivalence the role and the importance of debris, of waste, of these fragments of memories and stories, often neglected or put aside. Beyond that, this positioning also carries a message of confidence and hope: of a hope in this capacity that we have to regenerate (ourselves), regenerate, to give new life to our individual, social, aesthetic, political environment, by focusing once again on the fundamental gestures and processes of digestion, assimilation and creative restitution: as an invitation to experience body, matter, spirit and time in full awareness of their evolution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-95659","extra","type-extra","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.centredelagravure.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/extra\/95659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.centredelagravure.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/extra"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.centredelagravure.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/extra"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.centredelagravure.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
