Raffaella Cortese is proud to present the second solo show by French artist Mathilde Rosier.

In Mathilde Rosier’s films, performances, installations and paintings, all stories are formulated by dance and music. However, sound, bodily gestures and symbolic motifs narrate without words, so that the stories at first elude rational descriptions, evade direct perception but are real all the same.

Mathilde Rosier’s current show is influenced by her years of experience with dance and physical gestures in relation to the narrative representation of space and time. Having dedicated much of her art practice to the investigation of a possible fusion of the animal realm and the human being, her most recent research is focused on the human figure, especially on the representation of movement. In her latest works she underlines her will to give life to paintings and collages usually strictly related to her performances where sound, body and action combine all together.
