Il lavoro di Antonella Mason si è gradualmente evoluto da un figurativo di richiamo espressionista all’attuale sintassi informale, procedendo per cicli elaborati in relazione al proprio vissuto. Nata in Veneto ma con doppia cittadinanza italiana-americana. La sua arte è in movimento tra il suo studio di New York e attualmente a Venezia. Ha esposto in Italia, Spagna, Francia, Inghilterra, Paesi Bassi e New York. Laureata con un Bachelor of Fine Arts alla City University of New York, Queens College, NYC.
Da diversi anni sviluppa una ricerca sul rapporto tra conscio e inconscio, sostanziata anche dal dialogo instauratosi nel 2009 con il neuroscienziato americano dottor James Stellar - e tuttora in atto - sulle reciproche influenze tra arte e neuroscienze.
Le opere scelte per questo premio Exibart narrano di un momento epifanico di elevazione nella comprensione dell’esistenza, di un “mondo” in mutamento, del percorso e della destinazione, e del personale significato della vita. Questo momento, successivamente, cambierà anche l’impatto gestuale sulla continuazione del progetto dell’artista, proiettandola in un’espressione più informale.

Antonella Mason's work has gradually evolved from a figurative expressionist style to the current informal syntax, proceeding through cycles elaborated in relation to her own experience. Born in Veneto but with dual Italian-American citizenship. Her art is in movement between her studio in New York and currently in Venice. She has exhibited in Italy, Spain, France, England, the Netherlands and New York. Graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the City University of New York, Queens College, NYC.
For several years she has been developing research on the relationship between the conscious and the unconscious, also supported by the dialogue established in 2009 with the American neuroscientist Dr. James Stellar - and still ongoing - on the mutual influences between art and neuroscience.
The body of work chosen for this Exibart prize tells of an epiphanic moment of elevation in the understanding of existence, of a changing "world", of path and destination, and of the personal meaning of life. This moment, subsequently, will also change the gestural impact on the continuation of the artist's project, projecting it into a more informal expression.
