Alessandro Levato is a trans visual interdisciplinary artist living in Brooklyn, NY. Their work continually works to disrupt boundaries through recontextualization. Existing in a queer machine-made body, he uses performative aspects through the mode of production; interweaving the act of oil stick monotypes, pressed [put through a press] and repressed. Levato seeks to disrupt the final image of the piece using methods of de/reconstruction, cutouts, and melding to reach his own variations of simultaneous identities. They have received the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant (2019) and The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, Robert Blackburn Printmaking Award (2022). Their work has been shown in group shows at Equity Gallery (2022) and Trotter & Sholer Gallery (July 15 - August 12, 2023). They have attended Mudhouse Residency (2024), and The Penland School of Craft Winter Residency for printmaking (2025).
