Francesca Lupo (Aosta, 1980) dopo gli studi classici si laurea a Torino in Architettura. Inizia a lavorare tra Parigi e l’Italia, occupandosi di interior design e di restauro. Espone per la prima volta a Paratissima 2012, dove è selezionata tra i 15 migliori artisti. Dopo alcune mostre collettive in galleria, tra Torino, Bari, Genova, nel 2015 realizza la prima personale negli spazi di Harridge’s, con la curatela di Ermanno Tedeschi, e poi, nel 2016, la mostra Just What Is It that Makes Yesterday’s Homes so Different, so Appealing?, curata da Francesca Canfora. Lo stesso anno è selezionata come Young Talent all’Affordable Art Fair di Milano, evento che le offre l’occasione per avviare una collaborazione con la Liberty Gallery di Londra e aprire le porte della scena internazionale con la partecipazione all’Affordable Art Fair di Londra Battersea e poi all’Edimburgh Art Fair e, nel 2017, ancora nel circuito dell’Affordable Art Fair a Bruxelles, Londra Hampstead e Stoccolma.
Born in Italy in 1980, Francesca Lupo is an artist and architect living in Turin. After classical studies she graduated in Architecture in Turin, starting working between Paris and Italy, dealing with interior design and restoration. The pure artistic expression is for long time a silent and essential resource for architecture, until 2012, when she decides to participate with her collages to Paratissima, the independent art fair in Turin. Her artworks mix materials –the same ones used to make interior design projects-, with fragments of manuscripts, newspapers scraps, old tickets and stamps, to create architectural perspectives of Sixties interiors, where actors and singers play their roles on the scene. The newness of her proposals is appreciated from the public and she is rewarded among the best 15 artists of the Fair. This experience marks the beginning, shortly after, of a series of collective and personal exhibitions in galleries in Turin and across Italy. In 2016 she is rewarded as “young talent” at Affordable Art Fair Milan: this represents the occasion to start a good cooperation with the british Liberty gallery that leads Francesca to exhibit, between 2016 and 2017, in London, Brussels, Edimburgh, Stockholm.
