Michelle Tommasi is an abstract and conceptual artist living and working in New York’s Hudson Valley. She received her BFA in painting and sculpture from School of Visual Arts, NYC studying under Stephen Westphall, Lynda, Bengalis, Marilyn Minter, Jackie Windsor, and Luccio Pozzi. Her process-oriented work stems from a deep inquisition of life, the nature of things and what she calls, “ a nagging” impetus to bring from to the intangible inner life, reminiscent of the abstract expressionists. Current work revolves around drawing and painting abstractions that transform into three-dimensional works ,, utilizing a composition of mark-making gesture, “light”-therory and texture-inducing mediums. She counts her family’s heritage of ecclesiastical marble sculptors, Cy Twombly, Robert, Ryman, Franz Klein, Joa Defeo as strong influences.
