Fausta Squatriti (born 1941) is an Italian sculptor, painter and poet, active since the late 1960s in the Italian avant garde. Since 1987, the artist has used her diverse practice to investigate the dichotomies and extremes of human nature. This publication presents four themed cycles made between 1998 and 2009 that incorporate collaged imagery and extreme material juxtapositions.

Review:

"In the diversified landscape of contemporary art, where every means of expression can now be used to create and launch new messages, Fausta Squatriti occupies a unique position, one that makes it difficult to place her within the narrow confines of a trend or group. Her inner quest has led her to investigate the endless questions regarding human existence, and to explore the intricacies of the mind's labyrinths, its drives and anxieties, in a context often coloured by loneliness. Yet the purity of the formal structure would appear to act almost as a powerful bulwark against the ambush of darkness, skillfully kept at bay by her stylistic equilibrium." - Taken from the introduction, by Alberto Di Mauro, Director of the Italian Cultural Institute of Moscow"
