About the Artist:
Esposito’s works are modern and evocative; sometimes paintings, other times fashion, often sculpture and occasionally wall art.
She paints, sculpts and manipulates the surface of her canvasses using not only brushes but screws, credit cards and other interesting implements. Her paintings cleverly unite traditional media with the unexpected by combining oils, acrylics and inks with materials such as alcohol, feather, thread, flowers, spray paint, gauze, collage and coffee. The work is unique and wide ranging and touches upon themes such as human connection, identity, femininity, the natural world, health, politics, spirituality, and the urban environment.
In 2012 she became a full time artist and was taken on by London gallery Debut Contemporary. Since that time her work has featured in numerous publications including ‘The Grove Resident’, ‘Stylist’, and ART HABENS Magazine. She has exhibited widely and has had solo showcase’s at the ‘Kleinwort Benson’ HQ’s and the ‘Saatchi and Saatchi’ private pub in London. Her work has sold in to public and private collections both online and via galleries, including sales via Saatchi ART. She has most recently been represented by Le Dame Art Gallery, London and she continues to work to private commission.
