- Nicoletta Ceccoli
Nicoletta Ceccoli has an affection for the unusual; a fondness which provides her with endless inspiration for her creative endeavours, whether they be illustrative or of a more personal nature. Ceccoli concocts imagery which initially seems sweetly endearing, although on closer inspection her paintings soon bare fangs dripping with the macabre; the stuff of nightmares. The conceptual and aesthetic duality that exists between innocence and maturity; light and dark; repulsion and attraction, are all of paramount importance when it comes to informing the narratives Ceccoli nurtures through her childlike protagonists. We witness characters in the midst of transformation, all the while being treated to symbolic signifiers from our childhoods and memories of innocence, enabling us to identify, re-live and relate to our own personal life transitions.
