The Feat. House space in Via Giacosa, 15 in Turin hosts Max Ferrigno‘s new solo exhibition (Casale Monferrato, 1977) BadGirls, uncurated by Laura Milani.
The imagery of the Piedmontese artist, who has been living in Palermo for years , places the female figure at the centre of the scene (and visually of the canvas): the all-encompassing homage of his painting is to an archetype of a contemporary woman that goes far beyond the boundaries of the permissible. Ferrigno brings to the stage a universe populated by tattooed, rebellious, armed women: they are contemporary warriors, women who choose to defend themselves independently, to go beyond difficulties, asserting their own value.
Their tattoo-marked bodies tell stories of freedom, resistance and independence, while their poses and expressions evoke a femininity that has gone beyond fear in favour of action and change, in an explosion of violent, acidic, saturated, sometimes discordant colours, capable of hypnotising and destabilising the spectator.
Laura Milani (from Turin), visionary entrepreneur and cultural manager, is the non-curator of Max Ferrigno’s exhibition, with the aim of affirming that care does not need a title, because it is a silent gesture, a continuous act of attention, responsibility and vulnerability. It is a way of being in the world, not a function in the system.
Of BadGirls Milani says: “Max Ferrigno puts the female figure centre stage – representing her through an archetype of the contemporary woman whose body tells stories of courage, freedom and independence. His works fix on canvas the moments in which women make important decisions, the precise moments in which they change the course of their existence through a choice’.
The cinematic imagery of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez runs through Ferrigno’s canvases: his heroines seem to come straight out of a pulp film, suspended between irony and drama, between play and challenge, between reality and dream. The reminiscences of South American travel come to life in the Sinibaldi portrait cycle , where the iconography is a reversal of the conventional religious image, in a syncretism reminiscent of the figure of Santa Muerte and the Botticellian woman.
Through this personal exhibition, Max Ferrigno invites the public to immerse themselves in a world where comics meets cinema, and where painting restores women to the role of absolute, strong and unstoppable protagonists.
Feat House is the home of Venture Building, a Social Business Club, a place where culture opens up to the world and where people of value, from all backgrounds, come together to build something new and daring. At their side, as co-founding partner, is the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation.
