Meet the Artist
Alexis Osifo is a New York-based painter whose work explores the human form through bold color and dramatic lighting. Her portraits aim to capture the essence of her subjects, using strong contrast to create compelling composition. Alongside her portrait work, Alexis explores the connections between her personal and familial history, and the collective memory throughout the African diaspora, creating real and imagined settings that bridge the diaspora back to the continent. She works primarily with acrylics, oils, and pastels. She continues to develop her practice through live painting and drawing classes at The Art Students League.
Alongside her personal practice, Alexis serves as studio assistant to New York artist and art educator Konstance Patton. In this role, she assists on large-scale mural projects, facilitates open studios and workshops, and organizes the recurring "Anagram Art Salon" series that brings together artists and community members for dialogue about art's role in society.
