ANNA MADIA
アンナ・マディア
1976年トリノ生まれ。ロンドンの National Portrait Gallery – British Portrait Award ファイナリスト、 第54回ヴェネチア・ビエンナーレでは Lo Stato dell’Arte への出展アーティストの一人として選ばれるなど、国際的な評価も高いアーティスト。
イタリア、トリノのアルベルティナ美術大学を2002年に卒業後、2010年にフランスのトロワに移住。マディアの作品はクラッシックな肖像画にインスパイアされていますが、それらを夢と現実の狭間に置き換え、後に Sleepwalking シリーズとなりました。2018年からはメランコリアをテーマに肖像画以外にも、ノスタルジーを感じさせるタロットカードのシリーズなど、オブジェのような作品も制作しています。ハムレット、不思議の国のアリス、グリム童話など、文学や演劇の登場人物にインスパイアされた作品が多く、シンプルな背景にひっそりとたたずむ幻想的な人物は見る者の想像力をかきたてます。
