Lina Fucà

Lina Fucà (Turin, 1972)

After attending Liceo Artistico, she enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Turin, graduating in painting. In those same years she began to perform live painting with the “Barrito degli Angeli” theatre group. This experience amplified the artist’s aptitude for creating a dialogue between her figurative practice and other forms of expression such as theatre, music and video. The natural evolution of this dynamic relationship has led her to work on set and costume design with numerous independent theatre and film companies.

In recent years, the interaction between different languages has become the hallmark of her research, which begins with a reflection on the perception of the self in relation to the perception of “others”.

Evidence of this can be seen in the works presented at Galleria Giorgio Persano in April 2016, where a solo exhibition featured a number of works that were the result of an interweaving that takes shape in multifaceted forms and visual modes. Recently, the artist held a solo show at the Italian Cultural Institute in Madrid (2017) and held the “Solo da bambini” exhibition (2019) with Daniele Gaglianone and Paolo Leonardo, at the Fondazione Merz in Turin. In the same year, she participated in Palermo in the “Intermezzo 2019” project, a video-art exhibition at Villa Zito, curated by Agata Polizzi for Fondazione Sicilia. In 2021 she exhibited her work in two solo shows at the Sala delle Carceri of the Castel dell’Ovo in Naples and at the CARME in Brescia.
