FLASHBACK | MARICA FASOLI

Which details compose our memories? Sometimes a particular scent or sound, but most times they lie within an image. For example, if we focus upon our experience at the nursery school, we would probably recall a glimpse of the classroom, the windows which overlooked the garden, two classmates wrapped up in oversize smocks drawing or playing with clay and the blurry face of the teacher. Three years spent in that place of which we knew each corner and scent condense into that unique moment built by our minds.
Marica Fasoli’s project Flashback is rooted within this premise, but goes beyond it. A world – and time – tour through fifty-two postcard-sized images. Fifty-two little oil paintings which represent, for each year from 1950 to 2001, a symbol, an unforgettable icon. A spontaneous artist yet gifted with an outstanding maturity, an experience as a restorer which provided her with attention and patience, Marica Fasoli is an atypical personality within the current Italian panorama.
