charlotte GIACOBBI’s work grapples with geometric forms that yield an interplay of painstakingly computed perspectives, scintillating colors, and fragile elements. By treating all the materials she uses as equipollent, the artist accentuates the physical potential of her pictures: “When painting can complement the idea of the body as material substance, and in particular when it shows itself to be an ongoing process, its kinship with us comes to the fore.” The stretcher frame, which ordinarily defines a picture’s bounds, comes to be part of her work and at once its unique feature. It contributes to a shift of perspectives whose dimensions are fully revealed only in the interaction with the beholder’s angle of view, while also sustaining an expansion of the pictorial space onto the wall and its surroundings that awakens the static object to a virtual life of its own.
