I have been such a huge fan of N.Y.C. artist CHRISTINA MAZZALUPO for such a long time and I am just so happy to finally have a venue where I can show her off and share her with the rest of the world! Because HOT DAMN, this grrrrl is SMOKIN’ and you all need to be hipped to her!

Christina, like many artists, struggled to fit into the norm of the artistry world. (I know…it is like a super odd concept to think there is a norm in art, but there is!)
Take Me Somewhere Nice
She found her self trying to fit into the typical box of what art classes usually are (crafts and flowers) and didn’t actually find her own voice until her 3 year of school.
When asked “How would you describe your style?” by Diabetic Dew555
Christina simply replies
“I feel like an outsider artist who can’t be classified as “outside” because I have been educated in art.”
Christina has such a humorous soul, that even when confronted with dark and scary things she is able to turn those dark and scary things into something relate-able by everyone while managing to poke fun at herself.
Details
Her latest show called “Stomachache” which you can still catch at MIXED GREENS GALLERY is an actual food journal.
She had been suffering for many years from many food allergies that transpired in many ways and had been ask repeatedly to keep a food log. Finally she succumbed, but in her own way.
She was inspired to log her food journey in an 8 week count down to her 40th birthday, one piece for each week.
She is a treasure ….An honest find.
She wears her heart on her sleeve and on her work. Her comfort is Pencil, Ink on Paper and watercolors.
Week 8
Coherence
Christina has a real obsession ….I mean passion for animals and often uses their point of view as hilarious observations in her work.
Seriously, she is the awesome and so worth supporting. Currently Christina has a T shirt gig she is working on. They will be shown at Brooklyn Indie Market this weekend!!! So get out there and support local artists!
