“This whole world’s wild at heart and weird on top”
David Lynch

“In her last works, Miss Van tells us about women who, like Messalina, queen of wild hearts, have declined this fate, twining themselves in a dangerous seductive spiral.
Lonely characters locked and squeezed in their self-seduction games, prisoners surrended in their roles, but still able to love.
The potion that Miss Van gives us is double-edged: it may inebriate and flourish but it may also poison and wither who will drink it.
But isn’t so, in the end, that seduction and power have the same substance? A couple where it’s really hard to establish who is the real victim and who is the real executioner. For her first Italian solo show, Miss Van will present seven band new artworks created for Dorothy Circus Gallery, nine selected artworks from her recent production and two collaboration pieces with artist Dan Quintana, author with Miss Van, of the spectacular graffiti made in Los Angeles.”
