Williamsburg location will be open by appointment only and will transition to Gitana Rosa Project Space. More information regarding the future program of GR Projects to follow.

In Michele Basora’s new work, she focuses on a relationship between nature and the origin of inspiration. She combines the psychological and the decorative to illuminate. Her images inspire passion, but also take us into a place of innocence, while chasing the elusive phantasms of the unconscious. A native New Yorker, Michele Basora began studying art at age 15 at the Art Students League and took summer classes at Cooper Union. She also studied with Lucio Pozzi, Michael Goldberg, and later worked as an assistant to the Iranian artist Shirin Neshat.

Her work has been written about in The New York Times, The New Yorker and various other publications. She has shown at The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, and Tricia Collins Contemporary Art, as well as numerous other galleries. She resides and works in New York City.
