Chizu Kobayashi

Dolce stil novo

What is inside the Fabbri jar in Kobayashi’s work? Lightness. The Japanese artist studied in her home country but now lives in Italy, where she works by drawing the world, in her own particular way. She uses a black iron wire as if it were a pencil. Here enchanted drawings hold back emptiness, a fundamental element in the visual culture of her country, which is good for the eyes. The black and white of this work are only interrupted by the red of the Amarena which can be seen in the mouth of the little bird.
