The Soft Parts, Solo Exhibition by Stella Alesi
“Working this way, with 50 years of honing my skills and techniques, with just a simple idea and no desire to control or judge my output, has proven to be quite pleasurable. I work from a place of interior knowledge, and only when the work is done do I make sense of it.” - Stella Alesi

Artspace111 is proud to present the latest exhibition The Soft Parts by Stella Alesi. The artwork all started from a single, quick sketch Alesi drew while traveling. The sketch was a loose variation of a “U” shape that they had worked with in the past. This time the arms of the “U” curved towards each other a bit, and a small bump was drawn at its base. Alesi became fascinated how these tiny adjustments brought a sensuality to the shape it did not contain before. Alesi was delighted by the discovery of such corporeal suggestions as lips and other body parts. The body of work produced is the result of an exhaustive exploration of that shape; multiplying it, turning it on its head, changing colors and painterly approaches and then, exploring as well, the shape that was created in the negative space.
