★"In her brand new stunning artwork, Alessia Iannetti deals with the theme of a possible reconciliation with nature, which is represented as an overwhelming force that invades and penetrates the human figures depicted. Mother Nature is more than ever present in these scenes, in which the artist metaphorically shows a celebration of the cycle of life in all of his natural and pure aspects." ★ Dorothy Circus Gallery

“Evil comes by chance and so we meet our shadow. When we experience the dark side each of us carries within ourselves, nothing is like it appeared before. Our luminous reality reveals a dreadful, perverse world. It is a world as dark and gloomy as a thorny wood where no sunbeam could pass. For good is never absolute, nor is evil. They coexist, indissolubly bound together. Through my new series of artworks - ten, unreleased, small format works made with graphite, watercolors, acrylic on paper -, I have elaborated feelings of death, panic, fear and distrust. I wanted to represent evil, painted on innocent faces. The portrayed subjects emerge from a natural landscape, plunged into darkness. The only light comes from tiny, distant stars. Dualism dominates every creature. Darkness and light hold each soul simultaneously. Cruelty lies behind candid and childish smiles. Female characters are apparently innocent girls and children almost vanishing in their candid halo. And yet they possess a dual, evil nature. Posing like princesses on their thrones of branches, they are creatures sent to drain, hiding their sharp teeth behind gentle smiles. They play hide-and-seek behind trunks whose cavities are deformed into dreadful faces. Some remain silent, hidden among the leaves like wild beasts lurking. Others hide their crimes in the dark, in the middle of the night. When the body and its shadow merge into one entity.” -I dedicate this exhibition to the memory of my Father. And to Our Shadow.-
