Lina Goglio was born in Alpette, a small town nearTurin, Italy, and there she lives and works at n.1, piazza Forno. All that is nature, the immediate contact with the landscape, with flowers and little familiar things have allowed Lina Goglio to understand the wonderful harmony of colours and relish the intimate beauty of things. The painter uses a new technique of relief painting with varied materials, very often sand coming from various part of the world. There are in fact pictures using the white sand from Kenia, pink sand from the Pink Dune of Kanab in Utah, volcanic sand from Hawaii, sand from Monument Valley in Arizona, Marocco, Denmark, France… In some of the pictures the sand retains it’s natural colour. The material is worked into a rilief, and then follows a chemical process wich hardens the sand to the texture of glass, it is at this stage that the painting takes place. Materials used are sand, glue, pasta, rice and iron filings.
Critical Appreciations Accademia
Araldica Internazionale In her numerous works, Lina Goglio has adopted many languages (styles) including the "Avantguard" using as her technique the Picture-Sculpture. In her painting "Le stagioni Assemblage" has used a rich, luminous colour full of light and half-light. This Still Life is a story of real things, the objects seem detached from the canvas in a creation chromatically alive and tasteful. The coloration and preciousness of her work and the expressive richness are from the temperament of Lina Goglio.
Accademia Italiana "GLI ETRUSCHI" Vada Livorno 24 August 1997 The work is a triumph of wisely used colours which maintains a balance between the objects depicted in relief and the tonality of the background. The result pleasantly wins for itself with the delicateness of hte object and the success of the colours. Lina Goglio is confirmed as an artist (painter), both diligent and well prepared who manages to insert in her creations a breath of Springlike enthusiasm. |
