2025 | Resin and Mixed Media on Cradled Wood
A little Hollywood glamour, a little Pop Art rebellion, and a woman who knows exactly how to make an entrance.
Bridgette is a bold, dimensional portrait that transforms the familiar language of vintage beauty imagery into a contemporary exploration of femininity, identity, and representation.
Against a vibrant coral-orange background, Bridgette's sweeping golden-yellow hair frames a pale, dramatically stylized face. Her heavily defined blue-gray eyes, expressive dark lips, and elegantly tilted pose recall the theatrical glamour of mid-century fashion illustrations and classic Hollywood portraits. A soft ivory circular form behind her head introduces the appearance of a vintage cameo, heightening the contrast between nostalgic presentation and modern graphic abstraction.
Originally developed as part of Alissa Van Atta's digital portrait series The Girls, the artwork draws inspiration from the graphic simplicity and visual impact of silkscreen printing. Bold shapes, simplified features, and striking color relationships give Bridgette an unmistakable Pop Art personality.
The work moves beyond its digital origins through the introduction of resin and layered mixed media on cradled wood. Individual elements create physical dimension, allowing subtle shadows to emerge between the graphic forms. Bridgette's sculptural yellow hair becomes a particularly expressive feature, transforming a familiar symbol of feminine beauty into an almost architectural arrangement of color and shape.
Although her face is more immediately recognizable than some of the other portraits in The Girls, Bridgette's exaggerated features and carefully constructed appearance raise questions about how beauty is presented, performed, and perceived. Her theatrical glamour celebrates the pleasure of self-expression while acknowledging the conventions that have historically shaped images of women.
The contrast between the bold orange background, pale ivory face, and vivid golden hair creates a composition that is both striking and surprisingly restrained. Graphic simplicity allows each feature to command attention, while the dimensional layers encourage closer examination of the physical artwork.
Part of The Girls collection, Bridgette explores the relationship between feminine identity and the carefully constructed image. Both glamorous and unconventional, she embraces the visual language of nostalgia without being confined by its expectations.
Confident, colorful, and unapologetically expressive, Bridgette is a celebration of individuality—and a reminder that a woman's identity extends far beyond the image she presents to the world.
