Which artist first came up with the idea to use in his work X-rays, the history of contemporary art is silent. But he helpfully demonstrates those works that were created just with the help of this technique, which is still unusual and new for creativity. We remember Matthew Cox's embroidery on X-rays, Hugh Turvey's flowers on X-rays, shells' X-ray collages and an erotic calendar made up of clear images. Italian artist Benedetta Bonichi also uses x-ray machine as a tool for creativity, "painting" your pictures with its rays. Despite the fact that the plots of "X-ray paintings" do not indulge in originality, and whether they were ordinary drawings or photographs, they would not arouse any interest in the viewer, in the light of X-rays everything looks completely different. And we do not just see characters in the pictures - we seem to look at them, as if a door opens to us to another "present", where none of us has ever been, but only guessed about its existence.
So, instead of a merry wedding feast, we see two feasting skeletons, similar to ghosts and two lovers, whose tongues caress each other, a creature similar to the female version of Koshchei the Immortal is examining her bald skull in the mirror, an old woman, peacefully swaying in her the chair … All of Benedetta Bonichi's unusual X-ray paintings are made in this style. All these people are actually alive, but they only look as if they came from another world to remind their relatives and friends about themselves, or to complete what they could not complete during their lifetime.
The first exhibition of art by Benedetta Bonichi was held in 2002, for which she was awarded the Silver Badge of Honor by Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi for the development of contemporary Italian art. The artist's paintings are presented in art galleries, museums and exhibitions in Paris, New York, Rome, cities in Germany, the USA, Great Britain, and are also in private collections of connoisseurs of non-standard art around the world. You can get acquainted with the work of the author on her website.
