<\/p>\n
I was recently contacted by artist Patricia\u00a0Abramovich who will be participating in the Florence Biennale ‘0<\/strong>9<\/strong> at the Fortezza da Basso <\/strong>December 5-13. French by birth, she now resides in Israel. She has generously conceded an interview for arttrav.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Please tell us a little about yourself:<\/strong><\/p>\n
I am a self-taught artist who works in oil on canvas. My abstract and landscape paintings are primarily done with palette knives. In June 2008 I received an invitation to the Biennale that will take place in Florence in December 2009.<\/p>\n
How have you prepared for the Biennale?<\/strong><\/p>\n
Preparing for the Biennale has been very exciting. I talked with artists who participated in 2007\u00a0and they all had good memories of the event. First I had to choose the artworks to be exhibitied. I chose “Orange Field” as the catalogue image [see above], and two others that I painted in 2009 that I feel work well coloristically with “Orange Field”.<\/p>\n“Rondo”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Have you been to Florence before?<\/strong><\/p>\n
I know the fantastic city of\u00a0 Florence where i have been twice before with my children (a son and daughter) when they were younger. This time we are all coming: my husband ,children and I. The biennale opening is on the 5th<\/sup> of December which is our 35th wedding\u00a0anniversary, so it will be a double party for us! Six weeks ago, once I was sure that all four of us were coming, I ordered my plane tickets and booked hotel rooms.<\/p>\n
How has the Biennale impacted your career?<\/strong><\/p>\n
This period has been full of events! After i was invited to the Biennale I have been invited to three other important exhibits in France, Canada and Florida. I think the Biennale will positively impact my career.<\/p>\n“summer”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
I am happy to be able to show my works in Italy<\/strong> and hope that art-lovers from all of Italy will come and get to know my works through this exhibition. I have recently signed a representation contract with Artrom Gallery in Rome so the Biennale will be an important form of visibility for me in Italy.<\/p>\n
I extend a warm invitation to everyone to stop by and see me and my works (I’ll be there until December 9).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
