Artist Statement:
As an artist I have three
goals - to distort,
deconstruct, and alter
perceptions within my reality
by the use of any means.
- Christina Gattorno
The Art:
I usually pick subjects that
are either of an experimental
or cultural behavioral nature.
Most of my work begins more as
a sculpture would, by this I
mean I create something solid,
then if needed I add a canvas
which I paint accordingly. I
use props; in fact I have a
collection. Props can be
anything, whatever I find
interesting, or useful for
future pieces. I only use a
prop once then it is
discarded.
I spend months, even years,
photographing EVERYTHING -
from someone sitting on a
bench to a wrapper on the
floor. I consider my
photographs also part of my
prop collection. My work is a
multimedia puzzle; the trick
is pasting everything together
until it makes sense. Then I
deconstruct and abstract it.
It's funny looking at a
finished piece; it looks easy,
simple, and pure. So I would
have to say that my thrill
isn't in the finished piece,
but in the process.
The Artist:
Christina Gattorno was born in
New York City in 1972. She
