Geraldina Bassani Antivanri’s practice encompasses glass, paintings, sculptures, embroideries, marquetry and assemblages, most of which are on veiw in this exhibition.
With over 15 years in the fashion industry, she brings with her an identity and sensibility that is deeply rooted in a passion for textiles and artisanal crafts.
For the Insenatura Series, she worked with master glassblowers in Murano using both glass and borosilicate to explore (and abstract) the formal possibilities of a female breast.
This ancestral symbol of femininity, womanhood and maternity has a universal resonance as well as deeply personal connotations for the artist.
Bassani Antivari has chosen to subvert the technique by applying a spontaneous, or in her own words, ‘impromtu’ approach to the flow of the glassblowing process. In turn, the finished works convey a celebration of imperfect, organic shapes that break from the murano tradition that has long aspired for controlled, symmetrical forms.
