Alexandra Cipriotti
With a background in fashion and advertising, Alexandra Jule Cipriotti draws on portraiture to interrogate contemporary media imagery. Her work reframes stereotypical representations of women, amplifying the cinematic and psychological potential of paint to construct new interpretations of femininity.
Through the manipulation and recontextualization of fashion and commercial imagery, Cipriotti foregrounds sartorial forms and gesture as sites of sociological inquiry. Fragmented and obscured, her figures deny voyeuristic intimacy while decoding advertising tropes and the dominant patriarchal structures that inform them.
Heightening the narrative and psychological charge of mass-mediated imagery, her creative process becomes an investigation, forging contemplative spaces to reconsider how visual narratives shape perceptions of femininity.
