Bio

Artist/ educator/ muralist/ curator.
Empowerment through artistic expression.
...
Alice Mizrachi is a mixed media artist. Her practice includes work as a muralist, fine artist, educator, and curator. Mizrachi explores both the spiritual and physical dimensions of being human, and in particular, female. Often, the female figure in various mythical iterations intersects with earthbound feminine forms as a means to communicate and transmit social consciousness. Mizrachi’s intentions include the empowerment of self and others through artistic expression, as well as advocacy for women, youth, and the environment. Family, community, and tribe are also recurring themes.
Mizrachi’s mix of modernist influences and her identification with her personhood as a woman of Middle Eastern descent who is first generation American, are reflected through intuitive ritualistic gestures and articulations in much of her work. Her spontaneous approach allows her preference for line, and the deconstruction/ reconstruction of figurative elements, to reveal a human hand in the making of her work; an intentional maneuver in an increasingly technological age. A discourse around gender is a subtext to her work and is most evident in her poetic use of rough textures, found materials, and raw energy.
Alice has worked as an arts educator, developed curriculum, and presented on panels for various organizations, including: BRIC Arts, The Laundromat Project, Studio Museum in Harlem, HI-ARTS, Miami Light Project, Brown University, and Devos Institute of Arts Management among others. Her artwork has been featured at the Museum of the City of NY, the National Museum of Women in the Arts and Albright-Knox Museum; and, in a variety of publications including 2Create, Outdoor Gallery: NYC, NY Times, Huffington Post, and Architectural Digest. Alice received a BFA from Parsons School of Design, received grants from Puffin and Ford Foundation, and held residencies at Fountainhead in Miami and Honeycomb Arts in Argentina. Alice has a studio at BellAns in NY.
