The Prize

Giulia Maria Belli, "Idea Coatta", series of two monotypes in oil on paper, 21 x 29,7 cm each (26 x 36 cm framed), 2020.

Giulia Maria Belli was born in Udine in 1989, the city where she lives and works. In 2020 she took part in Global Print, Douro Biennial of Engraving in Portugal, while in 2019 she exhibited in Cremona for the SUPER exhibition. In 2018 she presented Moira, her first personal exhibition, at Laboratory 09 in Vicenza. He has taken part in group exhibitions at the Caterina Tognon Gallery, Magazzini del Sale and the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation in Venice, as well as at the UnSmoke Systems Artspace in Pittsburgh, the Piramida in Tirana, the National Art Gallery in Cetinje in Montenegro and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Rijeka in Croatia. With the Fondazione Malutta collective of young artists she presented her works at the museum of Santa Maria della Scala in Siena, and later exhibited in Il gemello Cattivo and at the Monitor Gallery in Rome, in 2018, with the Torre Maluttona-Mercato babelico exhibition.

My research starts from a constant gathering of images, photographs and small objects that I have found or collected. Starting from this collection I then create the drawings, paintings and installations. In addition to oil painting and the use of fabrics, one of my favorite techniques is the monotype, the only printing method that cannot be reproduced in more than one copy. The jagged contour makes the image evanescent, ambiguous and similar to a distant memory. Each drawing in this series, Idea Coatta, is inspired by erotic and pornographic videos. I want to give an aesthetic value to an image that in itself has a completely different purpose, highlighting details that are otherwise ignored such as props, positions, settings and subtle psychological reflections of the actors, in this case autoeroticism.

This artwork is part of the Viva la Vulva by Nuvenia project: a collective exhibition by international artists that aims to break down taboos linked to the female body in conjunction with an online charity auction in favor of the Italian Red Cross. The works will be on display at Six Gallery in Milan from 9 to 11 October.

"We are born free from taboos. We live in a society that forces them upon us, feeding stereotypes. Talking about them helps to break them down and learn to accept each other: because we are all perfect precisely because we are different".

The purchase of unique items through an auction house requires careful evaluation by the buyer. We invite you to personally examine all the information and material at your disposal, including our returns policy, before proceeding with purchase.

The Cause

The Italian Red Cross has been in the front line since the beginning of the alert regarding Covid-19 taking multiple actions such as emergency services, health services, psychological support, logistics, informative activities, surveillance activities, health screenings and giving substantial support for crucial activities to help fighting against the outbreak that is putting our Nation in a very difficult situation.

In partnership with the Public Health Department and Civil Protection Department, the ItRC is safely managing the transport of potentially suspect cases to health facilities and of positive cases in need of transfer to predisposed structures or in case of hospital discharge to provide care at home.

Through regional Emergency Units the Italian Red Cross is coordinating the logistic support of pre-triage activities, which are predisposed by the main hospitals with the aim to identify any new positive cases before they enter the emergency room, and home health care services.

We should never forget that the people are at the heart of our vision and of our actions and in this emergency situation, we have chosen to inaugurate the new motto “tempo della gentilezza” (time of kindness): the ItRC has intensified all services on national territory dedicated to support the most vulnerable community members: these services include home deliveries of groceries, medicines and essential goods and social transport if needed.
