ALICE MIZRACHI
Alice Mizrachi is a New York-based interdisciplinary artist and graduate of Parsons School of Design. Her practice includes work as a muralist, fine artist, educator, and curator. Mizrachi explores both the spiritual and physical dimensions of being human, and in particular, female. “Oftentimes, the female figure in various mythical iterations intersects with earthbound feminine forms as a means to communicate positive messages that are socially conscious.”
Mizrachi’s mix of modernist influences as well as her identification as a first generation American woman of Middle Eastern descent is reflected through intuitive, ritualistic gestures and articulations in much of her work.
Her spontaneous approach allows her preference for line, and the deconstruction and reconstruction of figurative elements to reveal a human hand in the making of her work; an intentional maneuver in an increasingly technological age. A discourse around gender is a subtext to much of the work and is most evident in her poetic use of rough textures, found materials, and raw energy.
“My work highlights our humanity and our desire to love and be loved; my hope is that these works inspire, acknowledge, and encourage our desire while also recognizing the simple greatest feeling of all. Love is the answer.”
