Lepus

Lepus 
2013 - Italy
Painting, Acrylic on Canvas
Size: 80 W x 60 H x 4 D cm
 
Lepus is inspired by the delicate interplay between chaos and harmony, symbolized by the graceful yet elusive hare. This artwork reflects my fascination with nature's rhythms and the profound connections that exist beneath the surface.
 
I hope viewers will feel a sense of introspection, prompting them to contemplate their own relationship with the world around them.
 
I chose oil on canvas for its richness and depth, allowing me to explore texture and color in a way that evokes emotions and invites contemplation. The subject matter - a hare - was selected for its symbolism of transformation and the ephemeral nature of life. The style, blending abstraction with representational elements, encourages viewers to find their own meanings and emotions within the piece. Lepus is more than just a visual experience; it’s an invitation to pause, reflect, and connect.
Lepus invites you into a realm where chaos meets harmony. This artwork, rich in texture and emotion, reflects the complexity of existence.
 
Accompanying Lepus is the poignant poem Epiderme by Francesco Trulli, which captures the essence of searching for meaning amid disarray. Trulli’s words speak to the struggle of recognizing inner truths, portraying a connection to the universe that resonates deeply with the viewer:
 
“I see the echoes
blur into disharmonious shapes,
the earth groans
and the steps of things come to a halt.”
 
 
INDIGESTIBLE WHITE: A Collective Journey
INDIGESTIBLE WHITE is a groundbreaking collaboration between artist Laura Rambelli and poet Francesco Trulli. This project consists of ten evocative paintings, each paired with Trulli's poetry, creating a unique multisensory experience. The artworks serve as a top-down view of the universe, allowing for a transformed perception where the soul communicates its feelings.
Emerging from a shared period of introspection in a damp, cold apartment, these pieces reflect the emotional osmosis between two artists navigating personal transitions. The paintings are infused with the spirit of their environment, while the poems reveal an intimate dialogue with the underlying struggles and inspirations. This collection invites you to rediscover humanity’s place in a harmonious universe, where colors, forms, and words intertwine to express a shared emotional journey.
