Chaos

About this work

CHAOS Chaos is born from the idea that disorder is not the opposite of balance, but often the very place where balance begins to emerge. Across a surface dominated by black and white, gestural marks, texture, and directional elements intertwine in a composition that reflects the complexity of human choices, time, and lived experience. The arrow, a recurring element throughout Blacksy’s artistic practice, runs through the work as a symbol of one’s personal journey: every direction represents a possibility, every deviation a transformation. The artwork invites viewers to confront their own inner chaos, recognizing that even seemingly random events contribute to shaping who we are. There is no single interpretation of the image; each viewer completes the work through the lens of their own experiences. Chaos thus becomes a visual reflection on vulnerability, change, and the human ability to find meaning even within uncertainty. The artwork is featured in the Atlante dell’Arte Contemporanea 2026 (Giunti Editore) and was presented in a video exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, in June 2026 during the international presentation of the Atlante dell’Arte Contemporanea, further highlighting Blacksy’s artistic research within an international context.

About the artist

Blacksy Blacksy is the artistic name of Simona Carbone, an Italian visual artist originally from Francavilla Fontana and now based in Correggio, in the province of Reggio Emilia. Self-taught, she has spent roughly a decade developing her practice through sustained independent study, including an advanced course in oil painting. Her work centers on large-format gestural abstraction in black and white, with the arrow as a recurring symbol of direction, choice, and identity. Each year, this essential visual language is joined by a single color piece, made as a deliberate exception within an ongoing series called “The One.” Blacksy’s work has been shown internationally, including at Casa Milà in Barcelona, Galerie Thuillier in Paris, the Three Shadows Photography Center in Beijing, Artexpo New York, Art World Dubai, Teatro Manzoni in Milan, and Palazzo Martini in Oria. In June 2026, her work Chaos was video-projected at MoMA New York during the launch of the Atlante dell’Arte Contemporanea (Giunti Editore). She has been selected for the XVI Biennale di Firenze 2027, where she will present a canvas work, the sculptural installation Innerforce, and the live performance Mappe dell’Istante.
