Not dolls, but dollcultural suggestions seen
in Brescia at Studio LB contemporary art. Sabina Feroci’s sculptures freeze in papier-mâché gestures and postures of boys and
girls (even if I thought they were all girls). Compared to the collection of
the same author I happened to discover two years ago, this new wave of
figurines is even more evocative, intense and essential, recalling threedimesional
illustrations of the finest, pastel-like kind, and accessorized with a bit of
pop culture. You have to touch and caress them (even if I didn’t dare) because
the feel is very smooth and warm, and their presence, fills the room both with
sience and imaginary movement. The proportions are also interesting (even if
they are not scale 1.1) – between doll and real person. So far, however, I’m
just the happy owner of ”Meeting Sabina Feroci – a journey of Papier-mâché Dolls” a lovely illustrated book, complete with transfers (even if written
in Chinese). Look at its title: yes, the author calls her creations “dolls” – interesting, isn’t
it?
Dolls reflect. I mean, they reflect the Zeitgeist. They can (make us) think. * Le bambole riflettono. Cioè, riflettono lo spirito del tempo. E sanno (farci) riflettere.

Sabina Feroci’s dollcultural papier-mâché
venerdì 10 settembre 2010
Figure what!

What are these papier-maché items: [ ] dolls, [ ] puppets, [ ] statuettes? Put your [x], or don’t. Kinda totally new and irregular, at the same time kinda of already seen after the tradition of XVII century wooden dolls and much more, these stunning figurines are a bit of contemporary art by Sabina Feroci, young Tuscan visual artist soon exhibiting in Brescia. I find these works spectacularly graphical, very in the poetic mood for beautiful imperfection we tend to love in dolls like Blythe (big head) or Momoko (skinny and with jug-handle ears) or those ugly stuffed little monsters…

Cosa sono qste cartapeste: [ ] bambole, [ ] marionette, [ ] statuine? Mettete la vs [x], o anche no. Qualcosa di totalmente nuovo e irregolare, al tempo stesso qualcosa di già visto nella tradizione delle bambole lignee del Seicento e non solo, qste sbalorditive figurine sono un esempio di arte contemporanea di Sabina Feroci, giovane visual artist toscana, presto in mostra a Brescia. Trovo qste opere spettacolarmente grafiche, molto nel mood poetico dell”imperfezione bellissima” che noi tendiamo ad amare in bambole come Blythe (con la sua testolona) o Momoko (magrissima e con le orecchie a sventola) o quei bruttissimi mostriciattoli di stoffa…
