//INTERVIEW
Nian
Nian is a painter based in Florence. She paints women, naked and twisted into tight poses. She trained at the Academy of Fine Arts, spent a few years doing abstraction, then moved to the figure. She usually starts from a sensation, and in recent work from visions that come to her in half-sleep.
We talked about how the body became her subject, why her figures push and press into each other, and a new series where lovers show up inside the drawers of old furniture.
Q: How did your painting become a method for working on the human figure?
A: I've always been fascinated by the body, especially the female one. While studying painting at the Academy of Fine Arts, I experimented for a few years with an informal practice, using drippings and layering to generate abstract, almost ghostly and ethereal images.
At a certain point, however, I felt the need to bring the body to the foreground and as my main subject. At first, they were figures of dressed little girls. I was interested in a lighter dimension, linked to play, clothing, and a spontaneous relationship with nature. Over time, these figures grew, and I began to strip them away, until I recognized myself in a naked, contorted body, searching for its own form to exist in the world, to adhere to or resist certain patterns.
For me, the human figure has become a tool for investigating painting. Through the contortions of the body, I began to explore the possibilities of the surface, listening to curves and tensions as if they were indications for color and gesture.
