Visually, most of the works surface has undergone a process of paring away, and in some areas the paint is stripped back or burned to reveal rough wood: by reducing to the bare minimum, Fugazza reveals the elemental necessity of her subject matter.

He is subject to slight sensual touches from different plants says Fugazza.

Included in the exhibition is a new work released in 2020 Plants like him - Cerulean Blue, that depicts ≊ man hanging pas-sively from a branch using prehensile feet. Quelli che si al-lontanano, 2019, shows how Fugazzas research gives access to knowledge accord-ing to languages and meanings between common reality and altered states of consciousness. Linked to contemporary life, her paintings are inspired by archetypes of the past while possibly presenting themselves as propositions for the future. In Natural Response, 2019 she attempts to represent the many entities that populate a person, and the constant shift between the perception of the self as a unity and as an interconnected multitude. In presenting different female contraceptions methods, the artist is interested in addressing this subject from an artistic, psychological, botanical and scientific point of view. The exhibition brings together a selection of works from Fugazzas renowned Contraceptive series, depicting the more mundane aspects of female fertility, alongside works displaying the wonders of nature and the uni-verse - constellations, childbirth and animal figures reminiscent of the traces found in the Lascaux caves. The online exhibition presents a series of wood and mixed media works by Fugazza that draw on primal everyday experiences, pairing the wonders of nature and the universe with female rituals of corporeal management. Part of Richard Saltouns Women 2.1 virtual series of exhibitions spotlighting female artists, this digital presentation showcases works by Italian artist Gaia Fugazza.
