Livia Spinolo

Livia Spinolo was born in Milan, has a Master in Geology and a BA (Hons) Fine Art.

Her practice ranges from drawing to sculpture, engaging with sensory experience. Her aim is to shift implied perceptions by defamiliarising the state of structures and everyday objects, challenging the viewers’ sense of an orderly world.

Her work questions the imaginary orders rooted in the collective imagination. She explores the precariousness of systems that do not function because they have lost their meaning.

Livia creates a different version of reality and to investigate what form and space communicates beyond the visible. She explores the tension between the representational surface and the real world, and the visual illusion generated by the interplay of the two perceptual experiences.
In recent work she investigates materials’ textures and shapes to explore the oscillation between two and three dimensions.
