About the Book

The first complete monograph on the Italian artist and her original and visionary realism

This book is the first indepth publication devoted to the work of Francesca Tulli (1956-2024).

Francesca Tulli's paintings and sculptures have developed as parallel practices, linked by her personal interpretation of a complex and perceptive realism, balanced between the naturalistic and the surreal. Her paintings, in black-and-white or in bold colour, often depict lush domestic interiors which are seemingly comfortable, yet due to their tilted perspectives and unusual viewpoints, become strangely unsettling. Her final canvases show patterned rugs which appear to be moved by subterranean forces or mysteriously sucked into vortexes.

In her sculptures, the artist's sinuous figures are posed in dynamic equilibrium, sometimes existing as athletes or "mutated" creatures. Made from bronze, terracotta or plaster, her figures shift between classical and futuristic, integrated with different materials including rusty steel, photographs, sand, glass spheres and led-lights.

Tulli's figures are beings which are simultaneously familiar and other-worldly.



About the Author :
Working as a curator and art critic for more than 35 years, Jonathan Turner has organized almost 400 solo shows, group exhibitions and biennale events in museums and art galleries in Europe, Asia, Australia and America, publishing numerous catalogues, books and monographs aligned to these exhibitions. He has been long-time correspondent for ARTnews (New York), Tableau Fine Arts Magazine (Amsterdam), Art + Text (Sydney/Los Angeles), Blue and Black+White Magazine (Sydney) and Genius (Trieste). Working with Francesca Tulli since the mid-1990s, Turner conceived and edited this unconventional monograph in close collaboration with the artist before her death in 2024. Side-stepping chronology, the book is presented as nine thematic chapters. It contains extracts from catalogue texts, reviews, interviews and articles by esteemed art critics, curators, artists and writers from Italy, Germany, Finland, the U.S., Australia and beyond.
