About this artwork
The work depicts a chessboard where some bodies seem to come to life, others to lose stability. The game system is still recognizable, but it shows signs of crisis.
At the center of the scene appears a female figure, the queen. She too comes to life, but her body is no longer defined solely by the function assigned to her by the game. Her transformation evokes a reference to Botticelli's Venus, understood as an image of rebirth. Like Venus emerging… from the waters, the queen is born into a new position: no longer a symbol within a system, but a subject who redefines herself outside its rules.
Taking life coincides with an act of subtraction: leaving the game.
Chiara Poli explores the theme of female emancipation. She depicts women in their nakedness, free from the appearances and roles imposed by contemporary society. She celebrates the intimacy of women free to express themselves and live their full potential. Her mother's figure has influenced her art since childhood. Daughter of an emancipated and nonconformist woman, she assimilated the concepts of freedom of expression through the original clothes her mother made and the feminist theses she proposed at every opportunity. Chiara's maturation is the fruit of a profound intertwining of life and thought: classical studies, a degree, a job and a family, the commitments of a wife and mother, and the obsession with her art. This synthesis is fully reflected in her poetics, which, especially after the untimely death of her mother, evolved into a precise mission to give voice to her nonconformist and feminist soul, forcefully applying it to contemporary society.
