MARIE HARNETT

 

Marie Harnett (Herfordshire, 1983) realizza opere ispirate al mondo del cinema. Attraverso la semplicità del disegno a matita su carta, l’artista cattura i momenti ed i dettagli più intensi e sublimi delle inquadrature più significative di una pellicola, esaltandone la bellezza e l’aspetto drammatico, senza necessariamente ripercorrerne la trama. Con i suoi lavori, grazie alla sua perfezione quasi maniacale e ad un elevato controllo della tecnica, l’artista inganna l’occhio dello spettatore, che a prima vista, crede di osservare fotografie in bianco e nero rubate dal mondo reale, a discapito della finzione filmica. E’ proprio questa la magia di Marie Harnett: riscatta la finzione del cinema per estrarne disegni che sembrano essere stati copiati dalla realtà, giocando quindi su un piano ancora più sottile.
