Nicole Colombo

Greta Scarpa has the pleasure to introduce emerging Italian artist Nicole Colombo.

For any actor in the art world observing emerging artists is essential to understand what it’s happening in the most innovative level of the art industry. This can represent a great occasion for collectors and can be of great support for these very young artists, both on a economic and emotional level. One of the characteristics of an interesting young artist is the originality of the language and Nicole Colombo is rising as one of the most exciting sculptors of her generation in the Milanese context.

She is brave and she is not scared to take risks. Far from a sort of educated “Italian approach” the artist is imposing an aesthetic that is much closer to that of the two Berlin-based artists Monica Bonvicini and Anne Imhof – both solid starting points of her research and imaginary. From them, Nicole Colombo extrapolates the use of space, the artworks’ staging and the capability to sharply define an original vocabulary through the use of materials.

An anthropological approach stands at the core of her research: the artist observes the dichotomies that often characterize western societies and the difficulty of human beings to accept their co-existence.
