Discover the unprecedented and unique hand-embroidered textile paintings by artist Barbara d'Antuono for the exhibition "Turbulences" at Galerie Claire Corcia, Paris.
"Tormented by the headwind of untamable thoughts, I feel the telluric tremors of this world in full mutation.
A small people determined sits in my head: lost nocturnal visitors, dark thoughts wearing hats, bicéphale zig, bird-woman, intra-cranial bestiary whose hybrid beings that compose it await to be liberated.
Everything depends on a thread: needle, scissors, I cut, I sew, I place and superimpose, threads, fabrics, weave that I find, impulsive, repeated, compulsive gesture.
My hands precede my thought.
Creatures on a black background, stupefied, extirpated from my skull, frozen forever, married with bone and lace, carrier of a flower, laughing skeleton, when color devours intention, gives an air of celebration, joyful death on a turquoise background…thread needle, scissors, fabrics, weave that I find, I cut, I trim, I superimpose, I assemble.
Polymorphic beings that occupy all space, my nature does not like the void, one on another, next to another, intertwine, crowd, overlap, back to back, face to face, frozen smiles, grimaces…., silent dialogue in the clamor of the world, no luck.
We are entering a zone of Turbulences."
Barbara d'Antuono, 2026
