About
Brigitte D’Annibale is a contemporary artist who works in a variety of mediums, investigating the interaction between nature and the human experience within the dynamics of space. Using abstraction, sensation, vulnerability, and re-examination, D’Annibale aims to elicit a visceral response and to transform the experience itself into art.
Native Angeleno, D’Annibale spent over 20 years in Kauai, where the core of her work developed in the form of large-scale, site-specific commissions. D’Anniable has gone through an independent learning journey which led to a uniquely interdisciplinary practice. Initial guidance from a few mentors from the Otis College of Art and Design set her on an auto-didactic path, mastering painting, sculpture, architecture, design and more one by one. D’Annibale’s knowledge of and fascination with materials and different disciplines continues to inform her work.
She became known for her holistic approach, transforming entire sites from scratch, and her interventions into preexisting man-made structures or natural terrain. Having gained acclaim amongst seasoned collectors and art patrons, D’Annibale moved back to California to establish a new studio in Los Angeles with links to the global art world. D’Annibale’s art sits within the region’s rich artistic legacy, yet is an expression of her unique, independent trajectory. Alongside an ongoing exploration of space, light, architecture and materiality, she introduces her feminine sensibility and interest in society and semiotics.
