Post lot text

Multidisciplinaire, Paola Pivi mêle dans ses œuvres des objets, des animaux et des figures qu’elle replace dans des environnements peu familiers et volontiers incongrus. Afin d’inviter le spectateur à adopter un nouveau regard sur la nature des sujets qu’elle place au centre de ses œuvres, l’artiste n’hésite pas à traiter les animaux comme des sujets humains, à l’instar de cette œuvre représentant des zèbres en pleine montagne, tels un couple posant pour une photographie souvenir. Dans cet univers figé et glacé, la figure du zèbre semble humaniser la scène avec douceur et nostalgie. Le travail de Paola Pivi trouve une vaste résonnance internationale, à l’image des nombreuses expositions personnelles au cours desquelles elle a été exposée aux États-Unis, en France, en Italie, au Danemark, aux Pays-Bas, en Australie, en Chine ou encore au Royaume-Uni. Paola Pivi a par ailleurs reçu un Lion d’Or à la Biennale de Venise en 1999.
‌
‌Paola Pivi is a multidisciplinary artist who combines objects, animals and figures in her works, which she places in unfamiliar and often incongruous environments. In order to invite the viewer to take a new look at the nature of the subjects at the centre of her works, the artist does not hesitate to treat animals as human subjects, as in this work representing zebras in the middle of a mountain, like a couple posing for a souvenir photograph. In this frozen and icy universe, the figure of the zebra seems to humanise the scene with sweetness and nostalgia. Paola Pivi's work has a wide international resonance, as evidenced by the numerous solo exhibitions in which she has been shown in the United States, France, Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, Australia, China and the UK. Paola Pivi was awarded a Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 1999.
