Arielle Tesoriero (b. 1997) lives and works in New York, NY. Arielle Tesoriero’s paintings and sculptures narrate the story of a chaotic group of girls whose metaphors play on women’s societal expectations and relationships. She examines her adolescence by navigating symbols of girlhood and their correlation between consumption and power. Reoccurring emblems such as animals, foods, and weapons allow Tesoriero to tell a complex history of trauma. Through the facade of her bright and sugary tableau's, she illustrates women’s struggles with their bodies in her fantastical and disturbing circus. Tesoriero is also singer and songwriter who is streamed globally.
