Swiss-born artist Clarina Bezzola mainly wears the hats of sculptor and performance artist, but lately we’ve become fixated on her psyched-out kooky drawings and gouache paintings. These portray a world of trash heaps and severed fingers, multi-armed women and anonymous human bodies into abstraction. Bezzola is a pro at painting the most grotesque elements in a light hand that renders them deeply engrossing, if not exactly pretty.
The artist opened her most recent show of sculpture with an Albert Einstein quotation: Every Belief in Separateness is an Illusion! and proceeded to explore that liminal space between interior and exterior worlds with gnarled tree stems and more severed fingers. It is teh radness.
