From the organizer:
Come to an art exhibition “Cargo” by Barbara Pellizzari Anchisi. Since Barbara came to Saigon, she has been fascinated by the positive energy released by the city with its mix of sounds and colours and its melting pot of religions. All this combined with the placid calm of the boats that ply the infinite variety of paths flowing through and around the city, are the theme of her latest works, expressed by using a combination of printmaking and tempera technique on Chinese paper.
Born in Turin, Barbara has a Diploma in Fashion and Theatre Design and a Diploma in Painting Conservation. She started and consolidated her career as a painting restorer by working on many masterpieces from the Italian Renaissance under the guidance of prominent restorer Edo Masini, Head of the Restoration Department at the Fortezza da Basso in Florence. Later she worked in the field of Art Restoration at Institutions such as the Art Institute of Chicago, the Kunst Akademie in Linz, Austria, the Karachi Art Museum in Pakistan and the Italian Embassy of Beijing. While cultivating her passion for painting, she taught Art for four years at SCIS in Shanghai. In 2007 she joined Dulwich College Beijing, where she taught Art in Junior and Senior school until 2012.
Since her arrival in China in 1996, she has exhibited her work in two solo exhibitions at Enterdit Creation, Shanghai. A third exhibition, titled“ Da Levante a Levante”, took place in Italy and has been the starting point for her exploration of working with pebbles and Chinese ink, which found its conclusion with the exhibition “Pebbles in my pocket” in Yishu8, Beijing in 2011.
In September 2012 Barbara and her family moved to Vietnam. She is currently running art projects at Pho Cap School for street children in the Binh Thanh district.
