Criscuolo

 

Criscuolo is a contemporary Italian artist working in mixed media collage and large-scale assemblage paintings. Drawing reference from popular culture, art history and film, Criscuolo's figurative works celebrate cultural icons, iconic brands, magazines, the fashion industry and  imagery from popular culture, which transcends generations.

Her imagery draws on a diverse range of influences from Jeff Koons, Blake, Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Banksy and Rauschenberg to Renaissance masters Botticelli, Michaelangelo, and  celebrates the kitsch of religious iconography. Criscuolo's bright graphic assemblages are elegant contemporary works combined with european nostalgia.
