Flora and Fauna

Dorothy Iannone’s work is characterised by an exuberant, narrative and
ornate figurative language, influenced by comics, pop art and art brut, or
outsider art. Her syncretic style brings together diverse cultural references,
such as Indian and Egyptian thought and aesthetics. Dynamic and radical,
her work promotes a free subjectivity committed to constant reinvention.
Through the body, the intimate is configured as a critical tool against the
patriarchal order.
In Flora and Fauna, the complementarity and fusion of opposites —
masculine and feminine, mystical and carnal, individual and collective
— are intertwined to a!rm existence as a celebration, in accordance with
Eastern conceptions of art and nature understood as paths to liberation.
Sensuality, pleasure and eroticism are thus transformed into an aesthetic,
political act, where art aligns itself with the pulse of life.
