The 14th edition of the Talent Prize exhibition \u2013 the international visual arts contest dedicated to young artists, founded by Guido Talarico and created by Inside Art, thanks to the support of the Fondazione Cultura e Arte (an instrumental institution of the Fondazione Terzo Pilastro \u2013 Internazionale) \u2013 was inaugurated on November 13th, 2021 in Rome. Distinctive features of the 2021 edition, which was promoted by Roma Culture, the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage of the City of Rome, include the innovative research behind several works on display and a strong female representation among the selected artists.
\n\u2028At 26 years of age, Lucia Cant\u00f2 from Abruzzo won first prize, becoming the youngest female artist to have ever won the Talent Prize. Her work, Atti certi per corpi fragile (Certain Acts for Fragile Bodies), is an installation made up of three sculptural groups, each of which is the result of the fusion of two vases, obtained thanks to the collaboration of people dear to the artist herself. Each part, with its colors and shapes, is a portrait in itself and the result of a collective endeavor, where clay becomes the glue that not only holds together the objects presented but also the people involved. Lucia Cant\u00f2 won the 5,000 Euros-prize, as well as the opportunity to showcase her piece on the cover of Inside Art magazine, presented at the exhibition.
\n\u2028\u201cWe are happy to award the prize to a talented young artist and woman,\u201d Guido Talarico, editor of Inside Art and founder of the talent prize, stated. \u201cWith the hope that this message is a good omen for also overcoming the gender gap in the world of culture. The talent prize has been confirmed as a quality certifier this year as well, and also a valid tool for interpreting the present, with both its phenomena and its disturbances. Artists are a resource to be protected, and must be protected, especially younger ones. We are proud of the talent prize for continuing with this mission.\u201d
\nSecond place went to Irene Coppola who, with her Schegge (Slivers) installation, also won the Emmanuele F.M. Emanuele Special Prize. The work is a silicone rubber cast created by the artist directly on the lesions of the mutilated palms (with trunks that do not regenerate naturally) of Villa Giulia and the botanical garden of Palermo. Third place went to one of the two international artists in the competition, Azzedine Saleck, with the sculpture entitiled Long Distance.
