ESPOSITO
"Esposito’s hybrid approach is intrinsically
connected to the chance of creating an area
of intellectual interplay with the viewers, who
are urged to evolve from the condition of a
merely passive audience”.

ARTISTS STATEMENT / BIO
Esposito is a contemporary British Artist from Brighton. Her works are modern and evocative; often
paintings, sometimes fashion, and other times sculpture or 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 more recent works are cut in to and sewn, and cleverly unite traditional and unexpected media by combining oils, acrylics and inks with materials such as alcohol,
feather, 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 2010 Esposito was taken on by
her first London gallery. Since that time her work has been exhibited widely, shortlisted for multiple prizes, has featured in a host of publications and has been sold in to both public and
private collections. She was most recently selected and commissioned to produce the front cover of Excursions Journal; a doctoral research publication for Sussex University - on the theme of (Re)
Connect post lockdown.
During the pandemic she became interested in Web3, digital art and Virtual galleries and as such has developed a new body of digital works / NFT's which coexist alongside her physical
works.
ART HABENS Magazine
“Multidisciplinary is a crucial feature of the work that reveals an incessant search of an
organic, almost intimate symbiosis between traditional techniques and unconventional materials. Esposito’s hybrid approach is intrinsically connected to the chance of creating an area of
intellectual interplay with the viewers, who are urged to evolve from the condition of a merely passive audience”.
Dario Rutigliano Curator & Editor.
In addition to being both an Artist & Designer Esposito is
also a qualified teacher. She was previously a member of the Audi Design Foundations' 'New Talent Group', now the James Dyson Foundations' 'Innovation Group’ consisting of a small number of
Designers and educators displaying exceptional talent in terms of both teaching ability and subject knowledge. In 2007 she developed a teaching resource for schools in association with Wayne
Hemmingway of 'Hemmingway Design'; later working for Dyson. She has written several published educational articles and was a contributing author for the AQA GCSE 'Product Design Workbook'
published by CPG books.
