SPLIT LEVEL: Ali Della Bitta & Greg Wall
October 2-4, 2024
hosted by Rimadesio, 102 Madison Avenue, NYC
New York, NY–Artist Estate Studio, LLC, is pleased to participate in SPLIT LEVEL, October 2-4, 2025, where we will present a survey of ceramic-based sculptures by Ali Della Bitta and paintings by Greg Wall curated by Jason Andrew.
SPLIT LEVEL brings together a selection of young galleries focused on championing emerging artists working in a wide range of media. Hosted by Rimadesio, SPLIT LEVEL takes a playful approach to installation within this design-centered space. A schedule of performances and talks will be offered throughout the fair’s run, encouraging visitors to engage with artworks, gallerists, and artists on site.
Ali Della Bitta is an artist inspired by shifting landscape ecosystems and the growing human impact on natural spaces. Her work serves as a meditation on impermanence—exploring the intimate often fragile elements of both clay and nature. Using diverse materials, including ceramics and recycled elements, Della Bitta builds a world at the intersection of art, environmental consciousness, and ecology, prompting reflection on sustainability, conservation and stewardship. Through her sculpture, she invites viewers to engage with the delicate systems of the natural world and consider how art can shape our relationship with the planet.
During a series of residencies at Art-St-Urban in Switzerland (2009-2018) Della Bitta’s work diverged as she explored the Alps. Lichen, alpine plants, and landforms became a focus of her research. This examination led to her study of endangered plants in the Adirondack High Peaks region in Northern New York State. Della Bitta’s focus on ecological sensitivity inspired multiple excursions to National Parks and exploration of public lands across the United States. During her most recent residency in the northwestern region of Iceland, the continued themes of ecology, sustainability, and material reuse inform her practice.
Greg Wall collages together household materials and an array of art media to create densely layered, three dimensional paintings. His constructions address the absurd maximalism of contemporary material culture and the complex relationship between underlying structure and facade. Tactility and play guide the contours of the work, and offer an alternative to rationality and efficiency.
Greg is a recent graduate of the Hunter College MFA program and lives and works in Brooklyn. Prior to Hunter, he worked in the New York gallery and auction world after attending the University of Pennsylvania.
