Marcella Colavecchio
Marcella Colavecchio is an Italian-American contemporary visual artist best known for her representational paintings and drawings. Pulling inspiration from her own life experiences, as well as those of the people she depicts, Colavecchio’s work is defined by its bold narratives, often grounded in themes of sexuality and identity. Her aesthetic favors unnatural and exaggerated light sources, leaning into artificiality to create synthetic worlds, using lighting as a means of expression. While her paintings are momentous in movement and saturated with color, they are still silent, and create a voluble visual narrative on the relationship between people and their bodies.
Colavecchio studied classical drawing at Lyme Academy of Fine Art under the master draftsman Dean G. Keller. Her work has been shown nationally with notable exhibitions most recently in Austin at the West Chelsea Contemporary and in New Orleans at Jonathan Ferrara Gallery. It has also been featured by Almost Real Things Magazine, The Austin Chronicle, The Austin American Statesman, and Split Lip Magazine.
