Alyssa D'Anna

I am invigorated by a lack of a plan, and go into a new painting armed with little more than house paint, a vague sense of place, and a relentless love of color. I am reckless and impulsive. I spill paint and get messy. I am inspired by the erratic, the accidental, and the possibility of predicating the unpredictable. My work features a heavy presence of drips, and splatters, and I am interested in mark-making techniques that stray from the traditional confines of the paintbrush. From dropping paint-laden strings from a chair, to sending super balls flying across the canvas, I believe experimentations and unusual motions like these capture both the energy of the artist and unpredictable world around me. I am invigorated by a lack of a plan, and go into a new painting armed with little more than house paint, a vague sense of place, and a relentless love of color.
