Vanitas
Lilla Tabasso
On the occasion of the first edition
of The Venice Glass Week, involving
over one hundred events dedicated to the art of glass, with a particular focus
on that of Murano. Vanitas, is a solo exhibition
by Lilla Tabasso, born between the collaboration
of the Caterina Tognon Art Gallery and Francesca Bortolotto Possati, CEO, of
the Bauer Hotel, which is on show until September 17, in the
hotel lobby.
“Capture the beauty of the nature,
unique for its mix between the perfection and imperfection.”
Lilla Tabasso
Lilla Tabasso is a biologist, designer and artisan.
Following her studies at the Faculty of
Biology at Milan University, she
began working with Murano glass
using the ancient techniques of blowing and modeling at the flame. Her artistic research is
focused on Botany. Her works are vases
of flowers of incredible realism that draw from nature an infinite palette of
colors, limpid shades and also – fundamentally for the artist – mutations and
imperfections: dry branches, faded flowers and wilting leaves. These are some
features that can be seen in Vanitas,
a work that lends its title to this exhibition.
