Italian artist Roberta Gigante’s (born 1986) career and oeuvre is extremely diverse: from sound installations and interventions in the public space to sculptures with glass spheres, neon sculptures and classically looking works on paper. Her works are subtle, playful and light. They fascinate and arouse curiosity. Their exceptional aesthetics lure the viewer into a higher state of concentration and reflection.
