Carmen Cirillo has brought a new series of her work entitled “Assonanze Marine” to show in Barga this week at the Galleria Comunale in Barga Vecchia. Her strong connection with the sea is evident in the choice of the images on the walls of the gallery, slightly more hidden is the musical connection but with the help of the titles of each watercolour that too becomes more easily discernible.
Water colours can often fall into trap where any artistic statement or intent gets lost in the technique but not these. Some very strong images from this artist who last exhibited her work of a very different kind here in Barga back in 2004.
Interesting to see as well one of the images from the sea bed of a fossil, aside from the mathematical conundrum of the Fibonacci Spiral … now where have we seen that image before in Barga ? hmmmm …. here and here in the red marble floor of the Duomo.

From the barganews archives; 2004 – Carmen Cirillo has brought to Barga a small selection of a larger series of watercolours about Pinocchio. These were previously shown at the birthplace of Pinocchio and there we are already in hot water…… as Pinocchio, of course does not exist…. but she makes us forget that. A series of images of Pinocchio through modern times. A space walk, playing with the Beatles and images of classic objects such as the FIAT 500, Moto Guzzi motorbikes and Vespas all appear in her work. source here
