Lucia Schettino is an Italian artist.
Since graduating in Graphic Art from the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, Lucia Schettino has always been committed to careful research in the field of abstract design and surreal figures. In order to meet the urgent need for artistic experimentation, she continues striving for a more complete understanding of the “self”.
The artistic research of Lucia Schettino reveals a clear connection to Informal Art, re-interpreted through a present-day point of view. Her work is not concerned with the often-debated question of the opposition between a figurative and an abstract representation; she does not seem to be interested in making her signs understandable, which sometimes refer to the human figure, others to nature or landscape. Each one of the objects she employs to build her work is either an ex-novo object, or rather an extract, a fragment of a picture or a text, cut out of books, newspapers, photographs, or even from her previous engravings and works. At times this creative process causes the collage to exceed the margins of the canvas’ frame, which is the canonic space of art. In doing so, Schettino denies such closed and predefined boundaries traditionally designated to artistic expression, giving new vitality to the structure of the work.
