Francesca DiMattio (b. 1981) lives and works in New York. Recent solo exhibitions include “Francesca DiMattio: Housewares,” at the Blaffer Art Museum, Houston in 2014 (catalogue forthcoming) and “Vertical Arrangements,” at the Zabludowicz Collection, London, in 2013. Her work is in the permanent collections of The Miami Art Museum, Miami, FL; The Perez Art Museum, Miami, FL, The Frances Young Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY, The Saatchi Gallery, London and The Zabludowicz Collection, London.
Francesca DiMattio’s canvasses begin with grids and architectural elements, as they expand to large-scale, complex abstractions. Her work is derived from fashion, design and art history with deconstructed elements that edge close to the surreal. The architectural framework allows DiMattio to explore space, velocity and weightlessness. The human-size works beckon viewers into their frenetic spaces and contrast the normalcy of the every day. Infused with a kinetic opulence, DiMattio’s work is defined by a sense of unease and painterly contrasts. She uses and departs from the strict rules of architecture, creating a world that could not exist on its own, but one with invigorating energy.
