Raffaella della Olga has been creating unique books using modified typewriters since 2016. Aware that the handling of an artist’s book is an intimate and private experience, and one largely reserved for bibliophiles and collectors, Three Star Books invited the artist to develop works capable of addressing a broader public.
The Typed Paintings presented by TSB are the outcome of a year of sustained studio research and experimentation, translating a practice originally rooted in the book form into works conceived for the wall. As the series gradually emerged, references to figures such as Sol LeWitt, Agnes Martin, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, among others, increasingly came to inhabit these new compositions, shaping their structure, rhythm, and visual language.
