Veronica Montanino

An artist dedicated to the practice of camouflage and remix, she courts the mimicry and the ilinx, the mask and the vertigo, invites to the dizziness, the hallucination, the disorientation, to lose the univocal sense of the highway.

High and low disappear, figure and background play hide-and-seek, labyrinths where you can get lost in search of a red thread that always turns out to be a false indication, a misdirection, a trap, a dead end. Gymnastics of vision that produces mirages and at the same time hides, breaking the shape, macules, stripes, stripes, tattooing what appears familiar to us, but perhaps it is not.

Since 2000 she has been showing her works in solo show and collective exhibitions and she express her statement creating site-specific installations in historical buildings, such as the Capitani in Ascoli Piceno in 2006. In 2010, in the café of Palazzo Collicola Arti Visive, her work took over the entire room, incorporating furniture, the ceiling and surrounding walls; this space went on to become part of the permanent collection of the Caradente Museum. In 2011, she participated in the 54th International Art Exhibition in Venice with an installation at the Italian Pavilion of the Arsenale.

In 2013, she was invited by La Casa dell’Architettura – Ex Acquario Romano to create a permanent piece for the entrance of the building. In 2016 her solo show It’s a wonderful world at the MARCA Museum of Art of Catanzaro and she created a game room as well as two other large environmental works for the MAAM Museo dell’Altro e dell’Altrove di Metropoliz in Rome. She lives and works in Rome.
