CHIARA LECCA
CHIARA LECCA
Biography
Chiara Lecca was born in 1977 in Modigliana, province of Forlì-Cesena, where she lives and works. She grew up closely to nature and animals in the family farm. Of those years marked by strong emotions and discoveries, she kept precious memories that largely define her artistic work. Graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, Chiara Lecca focuses on the research of the relationship between man and nature willing to show the distance created by contemporary society and the contradiction inherent in the collective behavior that removes the instinctive and wild side of men against the rational sphere. Her work leads to question and rethink the origins through a visual language that uses the animal element as matter for a process of an ambiguous semiotic turn.
In 2016 she was selected among the finalists of the XVII Cairo Prize and exhibited at Palazzo Reale, Milano. Her work has been presented in various institutions in Italy and Europe, in 2019 she was artist in residence at MACRO Asilo in Rome and in 2018 at the Italian Cultural Institute in Madrid. Among the personal exhibitions: Carlo Zauli Museum, Faenza and Municipal Art Collections – Palazzo D’Accursio, Bologna (2017), Ghisla Art Collection Foundation, Locarno (2016), Naturkundemuseum Ottoneum, Kassel (2015), Villa Rusconi, Castano Primo, Milan (2013), MAR – Museum of City Art, Ravenna (2010).
Among the group exhibition: Vestfossen Kunstlaboratorium, Oslo (2018), Schloss Ambras, Innsbruck (2017), Palazzo Reale, Milan (2016), Museum Schloss Moyland, Bedburg-Hau (2016), Museo Poldi Pezzoli and Gallerie d’Italia, Milan (2013), International Museum of Ceramics, Faenza (2012), Spazio Thetis, Venice (2011), PROGR Zentrum für Kulturproduktion, Bern (2008). Chiara Lecca collaborates with Galleria Fumagalli since 2008, the year of her personal exhibition “Del maiale non si butta via niente” in Bergamo, followed in 2010 by the publication of the book “Quintoquarto” with texts by Martina Cavallarin and Valerio Dehò.
