Novella is fascinated with the enduring enchantment of the Harlequin and the Pierrot, stock characters of Commedia dell'Arte theatre and puppetry. A compelling contradiction is found in these "sad clowns", whose fanciful costumes and androgynous, theatrical makeup are at odds with their expressions of staid contemplation. Drawn from her own personal doll collection, each of Novella's highly detailed scenes takes its inspiration from the individual personality and costuming of each clown. Rendered in loving and pain-staking detail, Novella has cast them in their own scenes, each informing their own and tone, giving generous attention to every element, lingering over the patterns, textures and surfaces of each form to create an inviting and intimate tableau.
Alexia Novella is hyper-realist oil painter living and working in Melbourne, Australia. Meticulously detailed in her practice, Novella's work is concerned with the expression of memories, places and people, through still life painting. Novella studied Visual Art at Latrobe College of Art and Design, undertook a scholarship in Sydney at the Julian Ashton Art School and has participated in artist workshops in Australia and abroad.
