Arielle Tesoriero’s paintings and sculptures narrate the story of a chaotic group of girls whose metaphors play on women’s societal expectations and relationships. She examines her adolescence by navigating symbols of girlhood and their correlation between consumption and power. Reoccurring emblems such as animals, foods, and weapons allow Tesoriero to tell a complex history of trauma. Through the facade of her bright and sugary tableau's, she illustrates women’s struggles with their bodies in her fantastical and disturbing circus.
​
Tesoriero is also singer and songwriter who is streamed globally, with her third self-released EP heartsick out now. Ripping pages straight from her diary, her compulsive honesty encapsulates growing older while struggling with identity and nostalgia. Tesoriero delivers breathy bedroom pop ballads like “2313” / all my friends left me empty / stuck inside a body thats aging / while “beautiful princess disorder” is the chronically online sad girls anthem / I can’t get what I want and it’s always my fault / I cry when I’m alone / I’d rather die than grow /. heartsick transcends the gap between Tesoriero’s art and music, leaving you wondering if you should over-analyze your own youth in your diary.
