Living Artists Contemporary Art Auction
Lot 414:
SHIPS FROM London I created this piece after a series of conversations with femme identifying queer women who experience alienation, invisibility, isolation and exhaustion of having to continuously come out to both the heterosexual and the LGBT communities where femme phobia is still widely spread. ARTIST BIO Francesca Alaimo (b. 1970, Rome, Italy) is a self-taught visual artist based in London. They create interventions on paper through the manipulation and transformation of materials and images using prints, soft pastels, oils, acrylics and wax. They create artworks that address themes of shame, queer identity, gender questioning, vulnerability and courage. Through intimate acts of disclosure the artist wishes to reveal what exists beyond appearances and to question, inspire and empower the viewers along a gender non-conforming journey, encouraging them to contemplate their own paths of self- exploration and growth. Francesca’a work has been selected for numerous exhibitions, including The Discerning Eye and The John Ruskin Price. They had their frst solo exhibition in central London in September 2024.
