Checkerboard
A critique of the artist and her work
A magic voice speaks out to the viewer of Giacoma Lo Coco's current extraordinary painting Checkerboard, now being exhibited and studied at the Verona Biennale Sgarbi Festival, February 12-16th, 2014. A similar magic “buzz” followed receptions this past year of her other new painting NOW on exhibition in Rome, Paris, Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, London, Barcelona and soon New York! The many hidden faces of the players in the Checkerboard puzzle disguise knights, pawns, kings and queens, all indistinquishable actor competing in the Gioco or game of modern Italian politics. Whichever team or “political party” wins, will dominate LA POLITICA ITALIANA, Italian society and Italian culture for the next 6 years!

A review of the artist and her work
The confusion and violence around us in the modern world come sharply into focus and become astonishingly resolvable when you study the extraordinary and passionate works of the young Italian artist Giacoma Lo Coco. Since her first painting exhibited at the age 5, her theme has remained the same-continuity out of discontinuity or “Order out of Disorder”, her thesis on graduation with honors from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Palermo. One feels that a universal discovery and a silent rejoicing is taking palce in eache individual in the crowded throng, who here-to-for had been rioting, raping and killing his fellow-man. The artist is showing us our own potential for change TODAY!
