Tina Alberni
contemporary primitivism
A 20+ year art professional, Tina Alberni journeys
through her work articulating ideas & concepts in
multilayers of artistic elements and materials, which
beat to the rhythm of life as she experiences it, always
in search for a deeper understanding of the macrocosm
& its connection to the human microcosm.
“My hope is to spark my viewer’s own inner dialect
because, after all, inner dialect is a common thread
which connects humanity.”
ART
Alberni
has
exhibited,
lived and travelled extensively
throughout the U.S., the
Caribbean, South America &
Europe. She had a bilingual
and bicultural upbringing which
continues to weave into the fabric
of her art on multiple levels. Her
ideas and concepts are articulated
through the combination and
experimentation of multifarious
materials ranging from glass
and recycled objects to oils
on canvas and everything in
between.
About her expression in this particular body of work
in Contemporary Primitivism:
“Textures, patterns and colors infiltrate my work
from the very first layer where I juxtapose images
and materials, to the very last defining layers of
shape and color arrangements. This deeply layered
work combined with saturated colors represents life’s
archetypal patterns and healing powers. Color is
healing, geometry is comforting and art is a necessary
emotional experience for me.”
Dualities between external appearances and internal
realities, social inequities, circumstance vs. acceptance,
survival, connection and desensitization are themes that
weave throughout the body of her work. She is definitely
a visionary artist. Her work is as much an intellectual
journey as it is an articulate expression. Synesthesia
influences her color choices, intuition and serendipity
play huge roles in her media direction, and, extensive
experience in a variety of media allow her to connect
with a repertoire of materials she can approach without
fear. Among other things, she incorporates pastels, oil
paints, acrylics, fabric and repurposed elements, inks,
wax, graphite, digital art, photography, and other nonconventional materials.
