Artist Statement for Alessia Carli

Feeela :: ARTIST STATEMENT
Much of my work explores the problems and possibilities of life changing. I recently turned my attention to the idea of the body - mainly feminine nude - as an extended mind, brain and/or soul. Having lived in, and observed nature (trees in particular) for almost all my life, I developed a passion for anything is branched and ramified. Emotions and thoughts become the main subject, they branch out from the body as if they were its inner extension and they turn visible, touchable, maybe vulnerable and therefore provoking. My work turns the world upside down changing the coordinates and creating unusual points of view. I want it to be thought-provoking about our life style and our contemporary superficial societies. Therefore, It seems to slip things into normal and abnormal - shifting between toughness and delicateness - it sets imagery, materials and language in constant metaphorical motion. My paintings carry symbolisms and evocative references to dreamlike forms and draw maps of contrast - like the geographical subdivision of a territory. The emotional descriptions is supported by the use of written language (Irish, English, Italian, Spanish, German…) carved into the paintings and by the use of pure colours, "the colours of my gut", so that the brutal and the sensual are juxtaposed, performing an almost complete cycle of intimacy and alienation. I like to create worlds that are beautiful and rather eerie and just probably the threshold to somewhere new.
Ethnicity is another content blurred in my pieces. My tree-women hail from no particular place, yet they carry the characteristics of us all. I like to think that blended in each face and body is the possibility of unity, of a single origin, or perhaps of a single goal.
