Allison Zuckerman
Artists information
Allison Zuckerman (b. 1990, Harrisburg, PA) lives and works in New York, NY.
Allison Zuckerman’s large scale canvases take a selection of female-orientated images from art history and, through the application of oil and acrylic paint, crystal rhinestones, and embedded archival CMYK ink, fuse them together in collage. Her work juxtaposes colourful pop imagery with a historical aesthetic. Through this marriage of epochs Zuckerman seeks to reclaim female figures from a male-dominated art historical canon, and does so with palpable excitement, humour and love.
