CV

A core member of artist collective Lucie Fontaine’s entourage, Alice Tomaselli is a ‘conceptual artisan’. Focused on the notion of craft - a topic she analyzes through her personal agenda, which means being an Italian woman living between Tokyo, Dovera (Italy), and Los Angeles -, Tomaselli’s work might be regarded as both illustration and subtle speculation on the practice of painting. Trained as a visual artist in Italy within a context that is individualistic and dominated by machos, the artist never abandoned her roots, remaining the daughter of a southern Italian woman who owns an art supplies store in one of the most depressed areas outside Milan, where she organizes workshops for women who want to learn the art of craft.
