ELENA SISTO

B. 1952 Boston, MA

Elena Sisto's cast of characters includes young painters, mythological heros and heroines, favorite children's fairytale pesonalties, all painted and drawn with a master's sense of light and touch. The Tin Man in this print is at a loss for words, lending a child-like uncertainty to his persona. Selected Solo Exhibitions: 2009: (two person show)  Gallery, S.F., CA with Jenny Dubnow; 2008: Katzen Museum of Art, American University, Washington, D.C.; 2004:Littlejohn Contemporary Gallery, New  York; 2003:Harrisburg Community College, Rose Lehrman Art Center, Harrisburg, PA 2002:Littlejohn Contemporary Gallery, New York; 2001: Littlejohn Contemporary Gallery, New York; 1999:Maier Museum, Randolph-Macon College, Lynchburg, Virginia; 1998: Littlejohn Contemporary Gallery, New York; 1997: Greenville County Museum of Art, South Carolina.  Selected Group Shows: University of Virginia,Works on Paper, curated  Megan Marlatt; Schlesinger and Coleman Bancroft, Oil and Water, NYC curated by Steven Harvey and John Yau; Pera Museum, Istanbul, Turkey, Octet; Sue Scott Gallery, New York, Subverted Genre, curated by Rebecca Mirsky New York Studio School, Alumni Exhibition, curated by Sean Scully; Hunterdown Museum, Clinton, NJ, Inner Child: Good and Evil in the Garden of Memories, curated by Kristen Accola.
