Elena Redaelli & Mara Sola: On Nature

On Nature
Elena Redaelli & Mara Sola
Studio17, Stavanger
27.2.-2.3.14
Drawings of birds, sculptures of paper straws

After spending hours preparing the gesso (the coating) of her canvases, and hours at the museum contemplating the shapes of birds, the result is shown in the drawings by Mara Sola. She joined together with Elena Redaelli to create a nature landscape. Redaelli's sculptures are made by lots of straws made from rolled paper and glued or tied together. The result is a sculptural forest with birds. The link between the two artists is symbolized in the two abstract works by Sola, where both her canvases and the forest are present. A fragile and beautiful exhibition, just like the birds are fragile and beautiful.
