Say Ahh (December 2023)

This delightfully weird painting throws us into the absurd world of a zombie enjoying a neon green bubble bath. The clash between the creepy undead and the everyday coziness of a bathroom makes the scene both hilarious and unsettling. With slimy textures and radioactive colors, the piece feels like a spa day gone hilariously wrong. Equal parts horror and humor, it dares you to see self-care in a whole new, undead light.

About the artist:

Painter, Animator, Student

Ciara Sergi is a Brooklyn based painter and stop motion animator currently obtaining her BFA in painting at Pratt Institute. Her interests include painting in a way that exudes a story, using color, subject, and different mediums to bring painting to life. Through the use of playful colors and smooth, sort of fuzzy blending, she aims to attract a viewer into a world where cute and strange are indecipherable from one another. Her subject matter includes habitants of a world plagued by some sort of toxic aquatic overgrowth and the scenes they live in, often portraying her characters with bulging eyes that stare down the viewer in a way that makes them feel as though they are intruding on a mundane scene of their lives. She has been exploring the medium of stop motion animation as a method of bringing out the world building that goes into her paintings. Stop motion serves as a way to expand past the bounds of the canvas.
