Artist Statement
"Growing up in the high desert of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and spending the later half of my life living in coastal California, I have always considered the connection between seemingly distant places, and the impact they have on one another. This design considers the various elements that connect us to one another, including earth, air, water, and animals. In my attempt to express the immediate threat of global warming, I use the color red in contrast with cooling colors in order to underscore the impact that a warming planet has in places near and far from where we reside. It is a call for awareness and action in order to protect what we love. We are all connected."
- Madeleine Tonzi
Artist Bio
Madeleine Tonzi is an Oakland-based painter and muralist. She creates organic and geometric landscapes that express concepts of memory and place in relation to the environment. Foundational to her work is the concept of Solastalgia, a term that describes the mental impact the destruction of the environment has on the human psyche. Through a distinct color pallet, organic forms, and architectural elements, Madeleine seeks to create images that capture the essence of her relationship to the land, emphasizing the importance of protecting it. Tonzi currently exhibits her work with Hashimoto Contemporary.
