Malisa Catalani is an Italian sculptor based in Bologna whose practice investigates the ontological condition of the body through processes of transformation, fragmentation, and regeneration. Working across ceramics, bronze, textiles, and resin, she conceives matter as an active agent, capable of retaining memory and generating form beyond static representation.
Her research is rooted in a dialogue between contemporary sculpture and artisanal knowledge, particularly in relation to material practices developed in Faenza, as well as in conceptual affinities with traditions such as Kintsugi, where fracture becomes a site of continuity. Within this framework, the body emerges as a porous and unstable structure, shaped by tensions between interiority and external forces.
Her recent projects include the solo exhibition UNHUMAN at SimonBart Gallery with site-specific interventions developed for Art City Bologna.
