Stella Tasca. On the wild side

On May 30th 2018 Parione9 Gallery presents On the wild side a Stella Tasca's solo show curated by Marta Bandini and Elettra Bottazzi.
On the wild side, Stella Tasca's solo show, celebrates animal and plant kingdom’s beauty and magnificence. The artist's work and the title of the exhibition takes inspiration from Giacomo Giorgi's feature film On the wild side (2016), that analyzes the theme of hunting within our society. The documentarie's porpouse is to educate on the reality of this activity and to act as a catalyst for people approaching its vision. 
In the same way, Stella Tasca takes the viewer to reflect and respect the wild side of our planet, accepting both its perfection and its cruelty. The harmonic interlocking of opposing elements such as water and earth, represented by the whale and the tiger, is perceptible in the installation of the works exhibited.

If her poetic research is strongly influenced by the imaginary hardcore punk, linked to the current Straight Edge, her artistic research and its application can be traced back to that of Pop art. Constantly related to the current political, social and historical context, the artist focuses on the concept of fair respect made of love, passion and justice.
The media used in the artworks such as wood, paper, fabrics, sprays, stencils that make up assemblages and serigraphs, together with the peculiar use of the light bulb, the drop of water and the written word reflect the will of Stella Tasca to represent the contradictions of our culture that makes us blind and disoriented.
