Donatella Chiara Bedello was born in Turin on March, 2nd, 1950.<\/p>\n

In the \u201890s she moves to Venice, where she establishes and runs the first contemporary art gallery in the Jewish Ghetto.<\/p>\n

For twenty-three years she tirelessly dedicates herself to the promotion of Italian and foreign artists, both established and emerging, and to the organization of personal and group exhibitions in the Gallery and in very prestigious venues; she develops an aesthetic sense that is sophisticated and far-sighted giving confidence to young artists who are warmly welcomed by the public and critics.<\/p>\n

After this long experience, she decides to return to painting. She chooses as a subject the windows of New York shops opened in the \u201870s, which tell stories of people who seem to have come out of an American novel and places that come to mind like postcards of a world now outclassed by the mania of capitalist society. Her paintings are open doors on historical activities of which the artist has decided to preserve meticulously the memory, one stroke and one detail at a time.<\/p>\n

Our Gallery has successfully organized her personal exhibition \u201cYesterday<\/a>\u201d in 2021, and in 2022 has organized a double-personal exhibition with Luigi Rocca, her teacher, entitled \u201c2 Painters in a Bubble<\/a>\u201d. In July and August 2022, moreover, she has participated in the group exhibition \u201cFire<\/a>\u201d with an artwork representing the passion for music which ignites her soul.<\/p>\n

In 2023 we published her first monography “Open Doors”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She exhibits in Trieste, Turin, New York and at here, at the Ghetto Et Cetera art Gallery in Venice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

[…] \u201cHer paintings permeate with realism so perfect and detailed to be amazed by observing the details. This art form, underestimated and sometimes criticized, in her production becomes a vehicle of emotions that are delineated through that use of color: intense, full-bodied that surrounds the represented subjects. Fascinated by that America of the 50\/60\u2019s, her paintings show the settings of the time depicting the streets where, far from the great metropolis, numerous stores flourished and where the mixture of different cultures and origins formed an urban agglomeration almost detached from the frenzy as if to rediscover that sense of belonging from the countries of origin. Italian Immigrants, Jewish communities, afro Americans merge into a set of lively vitality.<\/em><\/p>\n

Donatella Bedello\u2019s artworks show this in the abundance of details, in the precision and sharpness of the form arousing a nostalgic vision of a distant time. Her clean and detailed art doesn\u2019t obscure that sense of joy and vitality, indeed it stands out in every painting. The contemporary art finds in her that energy and that capacity to reproduce faithfully without being aseptic. Colors harmonies, glazes and prospectives assume that significant information that makes her an authentic artist [\u2026]\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
