Adelaide Cioni To Be Naked - Breasts Mixed Media on Paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Adelaide Cioni works at the intersection of textile, painting, and performance. The constant elements at the core of her practice are drawing and an absence of narration. Her research plays with physical perception and mnemonic reactions, to question the conventions that are built around the body and the difficulty to cope with having a specific sex, and to consider what it might mean to translate ourselves beyond our bodies. Cioni's work also utilises decorative patterns to engage with a form of shared non-verbal communication that has existed throughout human history. Education Studied drawing at UCLA, Los Angeles, and holds a BA in Sculpture from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome (2015). With an MA in contemporary history and a master's degree in Literary Translation, for ten years she translated American literature (John Cheever, David Foster Wallace, Lydia Davis, among others).

They both are linked with my personal belief that art has nothing to do with being righteous, and all to do with being human. And being human involves a lot of contradiction and desire.
