AMALFI MOVEMENT
“For Gross, inspiration is found in the nature that surrounds us and in people going about their everyday tasks: women sunbathing at the beach or simply walking the city streets, depictions of oceans and skies are the subjects of her work. Within the varied and inspiring pockets of the physical world, Gross attempts to create new narratives, by adding a few bright strokes of paint to her pictures. Using different colors to reflect the mood, she gives her photos a very visceral, tangible quality. Merging the reality of the honest photograph with her abstract artwork, Gross offers viewers a more playful, cheerful way of seeing the world. Beyond this, her seemingly swift licks of paint add depth, texture and the feeling of movement to her work. “I am trying to emulate an immersive reality for viewers and induce the sensation of actually being there just by looking” Gross explains. Indeed, her added layers of paint enhance the natural landscape, making the real seem ever more beautiful.” iGNANT- “Madeleine Gross And Her Visceral Photo Art.” IGNANT.com, 11 May 2018
MADELEINE GROSS
Madeleine Gross, a Miami-based artist, blends photography and painting to explore the interplay between reality and fantasy. She captures idyllic scenes from around the world—beaches, lakes, mountains, and cobbled streets—and adds vibrant strokes of paint, creating a unique mix of photorealism and abstraction. Her work examines how emotions and expectations shape our perception of people and places. A Toronto native with a BFA in Photography from The Ontario College of Art and Design, Gross customizes her photographs with paint to evoke an immersive reality. Inspired by nature and people-watching, her art features textural color layers and realistic movement, embodying the essence of various locations. Gross's work has been exhibited across the globe with a solo show in London with Pontone Gallery and numerous prestigious art fairs.
