Antonietta Grassi is a contemporary Canadian artist based in Montreal, Quebec. She is known for her geometric abstract paintings which reference textiles, architecture, analog technologies and the history of 20th century painting.[1] Her work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions in museums and galleries in Canada, the United States, and in Europe [2]
Grassi has been committed to the practice of abstract painting for most of her career. Grassi paints layered, intuitively derived forms that are intersected by fine, thread-like lines—creating works where textile, architecture, analog technologies, and painting's twentieth century history collide.
