About Alice Pasquini
Alice Pasquini (b. 1980) is one of the few women still active in the street art urban scene.
Born and raised in Rome (Italy), she owns a degree at the Fine Art Academy in Rome and, as for today, her work has been reviewed and published by renowned international art magazine and newspapers such as International New York Times[3], La Vanguardia[4], Euromaxx[5], Panorama[6], e Internazionale[7].
Vision and Career
Due to her traveler attitude, Alice’s preferred canvases are city walls. The Roman artist, both a street artist and painter, as well as an illustrator and set designer, has developed different threads in her research, from narrating feminine vitality to manipulating the three-dimensional possibilities of her work. She moves from urban explorations to installations using found materials.
Pasquini has lived and worked in Great Britain, France, and Spain. While in Madrid she completed coursework in animation at the Ars animación school and, in 2004, obtained an MA in critical art studies at the Universidad Computense.
In 2018, she was commissioned to design the libretti for the 2019/2020 season at the Teatro Comunale di Bologna while back in 2015 she collaborated with the Tourism and Culture Assessor and the Legality and Coastline Assessor of Rome for the 3D project Under Layers in Ostia. Again, in 2013 she realized a cycle of works for the Capitoline Museums in Rome, which are visible in Piazza Campidoglio, as well as a panel for the Pinacoteca Comunale d’Arte Contemporanea in Gaeta, Italy. Her work has been exhibited in the Museo Italiano, Melbourne (2017), Saatchi Gallery, London (2016); MACRO Contemporary Art Museum in Rome (2014); Tri-Mission Art Gallery, American Embassy, Rome (2013); Galleria d’Arte Provinciale Santa Chiara e alla Galleria Nazionale, Cosenza (2013); Casa dell’Architettura, Rome (2013); Palazzo Candiotti, Foligno (2012); Espace Pierre Cardin, Paris (2012); Mutuo Centro de Arte, Barcelona (2012).
In addition, Alice has completed projects with international clients, such as Canada Goose, Canon, Nike, Range Rover, Toyota, and Microsoft, illustrated the graphic novel Vertigine (Rizzoli, 2011).
LATEST EXHIBITION
Alice Pasquini has established herself thanks to her ability to innovate the aesthetics of urban art and to engage her own personal trend-focused mainly on introspection and emotion. Structured on visual traces that create connections from the most remote corners of the world, Whereabouts – her last exhibition at ART3035 Gallery in Amsterdam – is perhaps the most intimate exhibition of Alice Pasquini to date.
Over the course of three years, Alice took time to draw her own personal souvenirs as she traveled the world through the use of postcards sent to herself, which form the central core of the project. Each postcard becomes a tangible memory, a reminder of how her life has unfolded. From São Paulo to Berlin to New York City, each postcard is a way to preserve something tangible from her experience. Alice believes a journey does not end with the journey itself but rather is grafted onto her personal story to explore Alice’s continuous journey around the world.
The exhibition also presents a cycle of geographical maps from the 1950s with which the artist dialogues, integrating her own style and transforming them into the artistic territory.
