The 3rd edition will represent a forum for direct exchange of ideas and contacts between collectors\, artists\,photographers\, designer s and art professionals. The art fair features paintings\, sculptures\, ph otography art\, installations\, video art and live performance.\n\nROME IN TERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2022\, organized by ITSLIQUID Group will be held in R ome\, at Medina Art Gallery from July 21 to August 04\, 2022.\n\nThe exhib ition provides artists and exhibitors with the unique opportunity to prese nt their works to an international audience of professionals as curators\, gallerists\, collectors\, editors and publishers who seek to acquire\, pu blish and encourage the best contemporary art talents.\n\nThe exhibition a nalyzes the relationship between body and space\, and the hybridization be tween identities and cultural/physical/social/urban settings in contempora ry time\, through two main sections: MIXING IDENTITIES and FUTURE LANDSCAP ES.\n\nMIXING IDENTITIES focuses on the human body as a changing system co nnected to other bodies and spaces\, and analyzes the hidden parts of our identities\, through the fascinating universe of the labyrinths of our con sciousness. FUTURE LANDSCAPES is about the concept of borders and structur es between body\, mind and soul\, the human identity and the city\, the sp ace and the ground. We create abstract\, infinite and conceptual landscape s\, associated with a sense of freedom and infinite extension. Spaces rede fine their limits and boundaries\, transforming surfaces in an open flow o f pure ideas.\n\nThe first theme proposed for this edition of ROME INTERNA TIONAL Art Fair is indeed MIXING IDENTITIES\, well shown in Aristea Panagi otakopoulou's works. Aristea is a multi-disciplinary artist\, expressing h erself through different media: photography\, visual art\, dance\, and wri ting. She affirms that Art is life itself: the way we perceive reality\, o urselves\, and others and then express it through her works. Without art\, there is no life. Nature is a piece of art. Therefore\, the interconnecti on between nature and living beings is art too.\n\nMajda Zorko is a Sloven ian abstract artist who spent two decades living and working in Asia\, whe re she gained a BFA from the Central Academy of Fine Arts\, in Beijing\, a nd therefore was heavily influenced by Chinese painting and Japanese desig n. Majda describes her approach to painting as based on experimentation a nd exploration of media\; indeed she affirms that anyone who engages in cr eating a work of art brings to it his own set of personal experiences\, me mories\, perceptions\, and points of view. From France\, Francis Moreau gi ves us his interpretation of the exhibition concept by showing three paint ings\, born from daydreams. Indeed\, he claims that daydreams are the way to approach more closely the play of shapes and colors\, the very essence of painting.\n\nThese are not dreams\, these are not nightmares\, these ar e moments that we could capture as we capture butterflies\, exploring our consciousness. Tonya Ekimova takes us back to reality with her photography showing always\, as the main character\, Russian ballet striving to conve y the aesthetics of ballet lines and the elegance of dancers. Inspired by the painting of the Italian Renaissance\, and the artworks of French Impre ssionists Tonya creates unique\, often metaphysical images\, in which the space and the body become indissolubly one thing.\n\nAmong the artists tak ing part in the section FUTURE LANDSCAPES during ROME INTERNATIONAL Art Fa ir there are two photographers who explore the same concept in two differe nt ways: Hilda Champion and Ana Paula Avila. Hilda is a German/American fi ne art photographer and she uses the camera as a tool to express ideas and emotions.\n\nSometimes she affirms that through her Art she records “re ality”\, but mostly perceived reality. Her aspiration in photography is less about showing the world as it is\, but rather to release the poetry o f the ordinary and help people see the unseen\, creating new abstract land scapes. The contribution given by Ana Paula Avila\, from Mexico\, is very different since she affirms that Art is the way through which she expresse s herself. With her nomad sensibility\, she proposes a personal vision of her vivid experiences\, taking landscape photography with traces of mystic ism and mystery that give the possibility to the viewer to enter her world . As well as Ivan Stanev with his video artwork "Mantis religiosa"\; tries to find a metaphysical fulcrum in space-time\, waiting for a sudden revel ation without hope.\n\nOf course\, in this exhibition\, we will share with our visitors also a screening program with a few video works by artists c oming from all over the world (see video-program-rome-international-art-fa ir-2022.pdf).\n\nMoreover\, during ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2022\, at s treet number 36 of the Medina Art Gallery\, we will be pleased to present the solo exhibition of Barbara Gundlach\, a German-born artist who current ly lives and works in New York. She is a conceptual artist and her practic e is focused on triggering the viewer’s visceral experience\, thereby al lowing the onlooker to explore their own shifting states of perception by imploring the natural perceptions of vision and sound.
