With the line as a point of departure, Alina Vergnano (b.1989, Turin) explores concepts of fluidity, time, and entanglement working at the intersection between drawing, painting and installation. On her large-format canvases, she uses dry pastels, paint, and water applied in washes, to create dynamic and monumental images where the figure dissolves into abstraction. As the figure’s boundaries fade into gesture, the focus of her work shifts to sensation, turning the body into a place of feeling, a non-contained and open subject, fluid and multifaceted as experience itself. Her paintings are often presented in site-specific installations that engage with architecture or natural landscapes, and with the body. While the scale of the works encourages a movement in space, the fluid quality of the images and their spatial juxtapositions suggest a continuous state of unfolding, where multiple readings can coexist. Vergnano holds an MFA from the Faculty of Fine Art in Bergen (2023) and a BFA from the Europe Institute of Design in Turin (2012). She has exhibited at QB Gallery (Oslo, 2025), ECC (Turin, 2025), Heerz Tooya (Veliko Tarnovo, 2024), Sixi Museum (Nanjing, 2024), LNM (Oslo, 2024), Bergen Kunsthall (2023), Roman Road (London, 2023), JVDW (Düsseldorf, 2023), MELK (Oslo, 2022), Ruttkowski;68 (Cologne, 2021), and Galleri Cora Hillebrand (Gothenburg, 2021) among others. Vergnano lives and works in Oslo, Norway.
