Mutants
A series of works plays with visual displacement, blending light and form in a balanced dialogue between matter and idea. The use of LEDs and pure composition evoke an evolution beyond the visible

Francesca Tulli has always shaped her creative process by unsettling the viewer’s gaze, both in her paintings and in her sculptures, whether in ceramic or bronze. In this latest series of works presented in the exhibition titled “Mutants,” this disorientation becomes even more evident. The title refers to how the creator conceives the work — as something that goes beyond physical limits and expresses a possible, future evolution. The work does not stop at what is visible but alludes to something more. What can be seen actually reflects one idea among many possible ones. The tonal relationship between light and form, in both the bronzes and ceramics, generates a vibration or external movement, a “lucidity” that evokes a silent shifting of material elements. The LEDs within the “heads,” or rather “faces,” reveal that everything originates from within and structures itself outward. The result is essentially clear in its integrity and compositional balance. Uniqueness, a vital aspect of this work, is achieved through a composition in which the elements are wisely arranged in space, interacting in a constructive development of forms. These forms seem to exist only through the awareness of two qualities: purity and organization. At the same time, the work sometimes strives to extend beyond its limits, in the hope of becoming a new way of seeing things.
