BIOGRAPHY
Lavinia Longhetto lives and works between Treviso and Venice (Italy). Graduated in Graphic Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, drawing is her main work tool, with which she represents an exasperated body that suffers the consequences of time and the environment that surrounds it. In 2012 the artist founded her first hefty social art project about violence, constantly in evolution, that runs through different stages of experimentation. The graphic sign of Lavinia, filiform and articulated, gives shape and expressiveness to the body and its joints. In her works, Lavinia mixes influences of different artists she loved and studied: Egon Schiele, Francesca Woodman, Arnulf Rainer, Alberto Giacometti. The artist’s photographic journey has, unlike drawings, a particular vision of the surrounding world, of its architecture and of the bodies themselves. Lavinia’s photographs, through a wide set of body fragments, architectural and reportage, tell stories, travels, emotions and sensations. The artist exhibits in numerous group and solo exhibitions in Italy and abroad.
