Allison Schulnik

Allison Schulnik is an American artist and filmmaker known for her richly textured paintings, sculptures, and stop-motion animations that blend the grotesque with the tender, drawing on influences from early cinema, clowns, and fairy tales. Her thickly impastoed canvases and hand-crafted clay figures exude a raw, expressionistic energy that evokes themes of longing, melancholy, and the uncanny. Schulnik has gained significant recognition in the contemporary art world for her multidisciplinary practice that bridges fine art and experimental film.
