Rabarama at MoorHouse

Rabarama’s sculture installation at Moorhouse, London City



Date:     5 May -  5 June 2010

Location:     MoorHouse, 120 London Wall, London EC2Y 5ET, United Kingdom

Vernissage:     Wednesday 5 May 2010, from 1.00 pm




MoorHouse, designed by Fosters and Partners as a landmark London City building, is the stunning architectual frame of the Italian artist Rabarama’s London exhibition.
The sculptures will be on display for one month from Wednesday 5 May.

Rabarama’s works capture the viewer’s imagination with their silent, frozen postures. Her human figures are both clothed and naked, covered with multicolored patterns, arabesques, numbers, letters, mazes and puzzles.  Like sequence symbols of a genetic code, Rabarama’s patterns and puzzles stem from the artist’s fascination with genetics, the molecular metamorphosis of ever changing life, and the process of transformation. These figures ask the viewer to reflect on the nature of the individual, and on life as a labyrinth or journey, which is written on each of us and that sets the conditions that plagiarize the identity of the contemporary man constraining his possibility of a self-determination.

Rabarama, whose real name is Paola Epifani, studied at the Academia di Belle Arti, Venice, and today, lives and works in Padua, Italy. Over the last decade, Rabarama’s sculpture has been drawing crowds internationally in Milan, Rome, Paris, Cannes, Beijing, Shanghai, Venice, Reggio Calabria, Caracas, Geneva, Mexico City and Miami, with many acquisition made by international institution and museums.

A vernissage will set the opening of the exhibition, during which a live body painting performance will be carried out.  A dancer with his body camouflaged as one of Rabarama’s human figures, will be part of the exhibition, causing us both to enjoy and confront ourseves, involving us at our deepest  levels of observation.

David Begbie who has exhibited with Rabarama in Padua, Italy and in Oisterwijk, Holland, and is an admirer of her work will be present at the opening.
