拍品专文

New York-based artist Francesca DiMattio’s oeuvre represents a concerted investigation into the concept of space. In her paintings and sculptures – a selection of which are presently on display in the Saatchi Gallery’s group show ‘Known Unknowns’ DiMattio draws upon architecture, design and cultural history to transpose and combine spatial objects into giddy bricolage. Ladder, a capacious canvas that featured in the 2008 Saatchi Gallery exhibition ‘Abstract America’, is exemplary of her practice. The eponymous subject stands within a beguiling combination of architectural cues, including the arches of a gothic crypt, the black-and-white chequerboard tiles common in Renaissance interiors, and, in a vibrant orange, the patterning of a Persian rug. These elements, along with a pair of birds, a parasol and some abstract bars of shimmering gold paint, collide in fractured layers, flashing in and out like a computer glitch. The chequerboard floor appears to warp, granting a mysterious sense of depth to the composition. ‘I am interested,’ says DiMattio, ‘in polarities and difference, so while sifting through hundreds of torn images I choose a bunch that seem to pull in different directions weather historically or narratively in terms of place.’ Ladder is a fascinating reflection of the Internet age’s information overload, where clashing styles and ideas can be brought together to create something thrillingly unexpected.
