Bea Bonafini
Twisted, Edition 4/10
2022
Twisted is a handtufted, limited carpet edition created in collaboration with Bea Bonafini and TEN CARPETS in Athens, on the occasion of the artist's solo exhibition, Animals of Your Lips (2022) at Bosse&Baum. Please note the edition comes unframed. Bea Bonafini : “In Twisted, a body is engulfed by the unknown figure’s own hair. It seems to have a life and a will of its own as it cascades downwards, twisting itself around the limbs and consuming them. The only remaining hints of a human body are two blue boots. This new limited edition is a nod to a wider world of entanglements, in support of the dissolution of boundaries as we know them, and of the fusion between different matter and organisms." Electra Soutzoglou, Art Rug Projects : "One of the main reasons I founded Art Rug Projects was for each collaboration to be a new opportunity for the artists to discover a new medium - to expand their practice in new ways via the endless possibilities that the rug offers, as their new canvas.”

About artist
Bea Bonafini (b. 1990) is an artist whose interdisciplinary practice draws from oneiric visions, overlapping personal and ancient mythologies. Her tactile, intimate worlds form swirling scenarios that are fragmented and multi-layered. Figures are evanescent and transcendental, referencing imagery where fluid bodies collide, disperse, swim, fly and fall. The focus on universal human experiences – birth, death, illness, love – unfolds and proliferates ambiguously, simultaneously graspable and fleeting. Bonafini’s work expands the possibilities and interplay of painting, tapestry and sculpture. Holistic perspectives are developed in close dialogue with architecture, where works are expanded in space to envelop the viewer. Recent solo exhibitions include Animals of Your Lips at Bosse & Baum, London (2022); Unearthly at Nosbaum Reding, Luxembourg (2022); Il Chiostro Animato at Museo di Roma in Trastevere, Trastevere (2022) and A Monstrous Fruit at Setareh, Berlin (2022). Recent group exhibitions include The Armoury Show with Setareh gallery, New York (2022), The New Guard at Carpenters Workshop Gallery, Paris (2022) and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Alkinois, Athens (2022).
