Isabella
Ducrot is a Neapolitan artist who lives and works in Rome, frequently using
woven cloth as the basic material or ground of her paintings. Her travels in
Asia and her studies of the structure of textile have produced a major
collection of antique Asian textiles. In 1993 she showed her work at the Venice
Biennale; her textile hanging Rimpianto dei Budda di Bamyan is in the permanent
collection at the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna in Rome; and her painting
is on show at the Galleria Comunale d'Arte Contemporanea in Rome. She has
complete a series of paintings entitled "Complaint at the Destruction of the Buddhas of Bamian". Two of her monumental mosaics stand in the new Metropolitana
in Naples, at the Vanvitelli Station. In January 2008 her new show, entitled
Variazioni, opens at the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna in Rome.
