Lisa Ficarelli-Halpern | 2022 Year in Review

December 24, 2022 Didi Menendez

Lisa Ficarelli-Halpern is an award-winning American figurative artist living and working in the New York metropolitan area. She is best known for re-contextualizing art-historical images within a contemporary setting.  Her work has been shown extensively in galleries and museums, including the Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art, the Zhou B. Art Center in Chicago, and the Noyes Museum, New Jersey State Museum, Monmouth Museum, and the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey. She is a recipient of a New Jersey State Council on the Arts Fellowship for 2022. Her work has been featured in Fine Art Connoisseur, Poets and Artists, FreshPaint and Studio Visit Magazines. Lisa holds a BFA from Parsons The School for Design and MFA from New Jersey City University.

Was 2022 a good year for you? What were some of the highlights of your art career?

2022 has been a very good year for me artistically and I feel that I have achieved a different level in my practice.  I was awarded a fellowship from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. My work was featured in numerous exhibitions over this past year, including the New Jersey Arts Annual and the Long Beach Island Foundation for the Arts and Sciences exhibition, titled “Unmasked: Contemporary Portraiture,” where I was awarded an honorable mention by Jessica T. Smith, assistant curator of American painting at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Other exhibitions this year include the 14C ArtFair Showcase in Jersey City, where three of my still life paintings were featured. In terms of publications, my work was included in the August issue of Fine Art Connoisseur, as well as the Poets and Artists publication “Mujer” during women’s history month in March 2022.  I sold several paintings this year, mostly through Poets and Artists, which is such an excellent way to be connected to the Artsy platform.

What are you looking forward to in 2023?

Next year is going to be exciting, but also a bit challenging, as I am developing a three-dimensional installation which will inform and support new two-dimensional works also in progress. The piece is decidedly in a more outwardly feminist theme, which is another conceptual goal that I am working towards.
