Nicole Gelormino likes to create pictures of objects that looks visceral. She is creating artwork to show a perspective of the internal body–like an investigator or an explorer taking the viewers to places where they don’t belong, don’t want to be or have the desire to be. Nicole is also implying parts and places inside of us that are dark, visceral, gross, glorious, vulnerable, sexual, feminized, diseased, deformed, vital, dejected, pain, stress, anxiety, fear and grief. She is reclaiming the patriarchal gaze of the psychoanalyst, astronaut, surgeon, media, consumer of smut and special cereal that will make you thinner. Nichole is also reclaiming the gaze to provide an experience of discomfort, ambivalence, disgust, enamoration, curiosity, lust and estrangement. By aesthetically providing such experiences, she aims to inspire a deeper awareness of our bodies and the meanings they carry.
