Event: IL CIELO IN UNA STANZA
Dates: 1 Sep 2023 - 3 Sep 2023
Presentation of Lauriola's works of recent years, whose artistic production comes to life from a careful contemplation on the surrounding reality, a deep reflection without filters or prejudices, beyond good and evil, beyond male and female, in that limbo between conscious and unconscious that has often led her to ask questions about the enigmas and distortions of the world, in order to try to always capture and bring out the positive aspects that surround her.
This path of research has turned into a painting technique that is developed through the laying down of different layers of color, material and resin and the relationship with the sign stroke. Each layer is like a mantra that leads her to the achievement of empathy with the longed-for, dreamed real.
There are three main strands that the artist has developed in recent years, "Dialogue with Nature," "Feelings and Suspended Atmospheres."
Event: “Human Nature“, International Meeting of Contemporary art
Dates: 10 Jun 2023 - 15 Oct 2023
Every seven years a cycle comes to a close, made up of shared experiences in which an update is presented, a status quo on the artistic experience of contemporary authors working at an international level.
The new location stimulates an unprecedented dialogue with the place, with a visual journey between painting, sculpture and installations. Nature manifests itself through the experiential leitmotif of artists living their own time, in an attempt to decode it they strengthen the conversation with Mother Nature, translating thoughts and reflections into a polyform content.
The exhibition is on view from June 10 to Oct. 15 at Villa Fiorentino,
Event: CHIUDI GLI OCCHI
Dates: 7 Jun 2023 - 24 Jun 2023
"The relationship between human being and nature," writes Carlo Ercoli in his critical text within the catalog, "is the focus on which Lauriola's latest production concentrates, finding completion in the canvases created for the site-specific exhibition at the Aranciera di San Sisto, a building constructed in 1926 to provide shelter for those plants most affected by winter temperatures. Right here in this strip of Rome charged with history, a dimension of temporal suspension is perceived. Such a protective atmosphere toward delicate plants, in a place where the bucolic idyll still shines embedded in the beating heart of the city, deeply inspired the artist."

Let us take the swampy path to get to the clouds," seguw an introspective iter that stems from the evocation of a haiku. The very essence of Lauriola's work is condensed in this metaphorical phrase that alludes to the difficulties of an untrodden path, and to the final goal represented by detachment. Painting itself, for the artist, is always a meditative moment that places her in the presence of the deepest part of the ego

URBAN ASPIRATIONS
The protagonists are urban travelers, a recurring theme in his artistic career, who create a vision, the continuous pilgrimage without a defined destination, a metaphor for existence. In this particular atmosphere, wings can be seen. Butterfly wings resting on travelers who seem almost not to be aware of it. Their aspirations, their dreams that they carry inside every day in their incessant pilgrimage: dreamlike transfiguration of human thought

Biography
In recent years, my art reflects contemplation of reality, free from biases, beyond good and evil, male and female, exploring the limbo between consciousness and unconsciousness. I seek to reveal positive aspects that surround me.
This journey led to a painting technique with layered colors, materials, and resins, guided by the brush stroke. Each layer becomes a meditative mantra, fostering empathy with the longed-for, dreamed real.
Three main themes emerged: "Dialogue with Nature" blending abstraction and figurative symbolism using everyday objects hinting at human presence; " Suspended Atmospheres" where light takes center stage, freeing figures from temporal constraints, existing in a timeless, metaphysical dimension, akin to an artist's dream; and "Suspended Feelings" portraying close faces of a man and a woman, evoking intimate connections, opposing today's individualistic drift.
Inspiration comes from Jasper Johns, Cy Twombly, and Mario Schifano, with Schiele's drawing style being an iconic influence.
Since 2004 she has had successful exhibitions in Italy and abroad, the most recent of which are in 2023 – Close your eyes, Aranciera di San Sisto, Rome and Artètika Gallery, Palermo (solo exhibition); in 2022 - We take the swampy path to the clouds, Galleria Umberto Mastroianni in San Salvatore in Lauro Museum, Rome (solo exhibition); participation in the International SyArt Sorrento Festival, Villa Fiorentino, Sorrento Foundation; illustrations for the publishing project Guido Levi, a story full of fears, anxieties and almost yellow events 1942-1946; in 2019 Domino/ Domination for fun and for real, MACRO Museum of Contemporary Art, Rome.
PRIZES AND AWARDS
As part of the SyArt Sorrento International Festival, she was awarded the Arbiter Fata Verde 2021 Prize for her interesting and valuable artistic research and was given the front cover with an interview in the April 2022 issue of Arbiter magazine. She also received the Honourable Mention from the Circle Foundation for the Arts 2020 and 2022; she was a finalist in the Lupa Award 2020 and the Celeste Award 2007 and in 2015 she was Pier Maria Rossi Museum competition winner. Her works can be found in the Copelouzos Family Art Museum in Athens, the SanPaolo Invest ArtCollection in Rome, in the Antonio Sapone Municipal Art Gallery in Gaeta and in other international private collections. She is featured in the 2020 edition of the De Agostini Atlas of Contemporary Art, the most comprehensive survey of Italian artists from 1950 to the present. In 2006 she was invited to exhibit as honour guest at the International Photo Festival in Lodz (Poland), in 2010 at the Italian Cultural Institute in Damascus (Syria) with the solo exhibition Urban Visions in Progress and at the International Symposium in Idlib (Syria) organized by the Syrian Ministry of Culture.
