Lost in orbit (Finalist for Contemporary Art Awards / Australia, 2015).www.ContemporaryArtAwards.com Painting

SOLD From the "Impossible Body " series Oil on linen Magdalena Bors is a friend of mine who is an amazingly talented and gifted Artist-photographer. Like me she is an Artist and mother of young children. Bors “loves thinking about how minuscule and insignificant an everyday obstacle can feel if you think about it in terms of the scale of what we are all part of". I hope that via my altered portrait of Magda’s body, I have brought her closer to her desire to fly like a celestial being, channel her wild self and satisfy that longing feeling inside to orbit and be devoured by a planet such as Venus. My paintings from this series reference the performance-based feats of contorted and awkward postures that one experiences in the daily grind of work and play. Notions of beauty, introspection and reinvention are laid bare alongside my reality (as a multi-tasking mother), which has led to the creation of altered portraits of the body. I pay homage to historical visual Art references via the tradition of collage, which enables me to playfully reflect the language of gesture and expression from a distorted perspective. Appropriation underpins my work with the two-step process of creating oil-painted copies of my own collages. www.silviaasellitto.com https://instagram.com/silv.a.sell/ https://www.facebook.com/silviaAsellittoArtist
