Alessandra Del Gatto is a 20-year-old artist from New York City currently studying at Parsons School of Design. Her current body of work was inspired by Del Gatto’s recent study on anatomy and figure drawing. This work is cented in the space between obsessive and dissociative relationships with the artist’s own body and that of her partner. The process of creating this work is simultaneously a practice of personal and sexual autonomy. Del Gatto claims power in the decision-making for each work — who sees her body, how it is framed, how much of it is exposed, and even what colors are used to depict it. The works inhabit a space between figurative and landscape painting to share the experience of being at home, or alternatively, feeling lost, in the landscape of one’s own body.
Works
Untitled (Body Studies)
Grappling with conflicting feelings of disconnection and obsession with the body, Del Gatto’s topographical studies outline an attempt to reestablish bodily and sexual autonomy as she plays with color to explore the boundaries between figure and landscape.
