“The truth lies under the skin of the things.” — Alice Galizzi
Galizzi’s poetic vision is found in the apparent contradiction: starting from reality, she subtracts representation. Her painting process is grounded in the photograph, which she flattens and reduces to geometric forms, filtering it through simplification and linear abstraction, as is shown by the series Variazione sullo stesso tema (2024).
Her work is a mental topography of the domestic space: objects, rooms, windows, and surfaces are compressed and reassembled like parts of an emotional map. Her subjects are drawn from her daily experience; her body has already inhabited these spaces. Unlike Claudio Parmiggiani, who works with the trace of absence (as in his famous “dust deposits”), Galizzi works by developing the presence of the mark, where the shadow is the origin of a new form.
For her, painting becomes “impression” in a dual sense: both a mark on the canvas and an imprint in memory, as seen in Celeste 1 (2024), in which her practice is no longer about representation, but about transcription of an invisible permanence. Edwin Abbott’s Flatland, with its two-dimensional world made of apparent perfections, offers a compelling interpretive key: every form is merely a threshold to another.
This approach is also evident in her two most recent canvases, Conversazione (2024) and Tempi morti (2025), where art reveals the true façade of things.
