The setting up of this third solo exhibition in the Trentino gallery, curated by Virginia Raffaelli, revolves around the reinterpretation of "The sleep of reason generates monsters" by Goya, "translated" into the usual and personal language of Laurina Paperina. Told by "Il Giornale dell'Arte".
The "sleep of reason generates monsters" is the title of the new exhibition by Laurina Paperina, the stage name of Laura Scottini from Rovereto. Told by the newspaper "Il Dolomiti".
Easy-Peasy - explains Giorgio Chinea Canale - is a way of saying that comes from youth slang. It means “Easy Easy”, “Simple”, “Go easy!”. It is a title that goes well with the artist's themes, an impactful, fresh, fast and captivating title, perfectly in line with post-pandemic needs.
