Lori-Ann Bellissimo

Lori-Ann Bellissimo is a worldly painter from Toronto, Canada of Italian heritage. After successful solo and group exhibitions and residencies in South East Asia and Italy, has collaborated with architects and designers on many interior projects around the globe. Bellissimo’s work positions ‘the cosmos versus humanity’, exploring how the spiritual plane weaves through the world we live in. Re-negotiating traditional definitions within painting, sculpture and digital art, Lori-Ann pitches colour against perspective, exploring spatial depth and shadows on non-traditional substrates. Paints, phosphorescence, inks, graphite and digital media lie within the architecture of the picture plane (inspired largely by astrological charts of pop icons, geometry, Italian streets and fashion) and are filled with resins and glazes (some matte, some glossy), blurring external and internal space. A repetition of abstract elements float above hand-carved ornamental narratives that reference the colour history of Western and non-Western Art, Lori-Ann's roots in modern design, and the diverse cultures around the world where she has lived.

Sidney Poitier

Work ID: 70121

Description: Galileo's Assistant is a series of ten large scale works on 58 inch diameter Baltic Birch wooden circular surfaces which float 1 inch from the wall on a stretcher frame giving a lunar impression. The series uses astrological natal charts of pop icons as a basis to explore the tension between geometric and expressionist forms of abstraction.

Working intuitively, using the knowledge of spirituality and energy healing gained while ill with spinal disease in the past, each painting is determined by the artist's connection with the icon, in relation to her own life story and aesthetics which overlay charts of the likes of: Roger Moore, Sophia Loren, Federico Fellini, the Dalai Lama, Marilyn Monroe, Sidney Poitier and even Angelina Jolie.
