Alma Singer Biography
Alma Singer is the working name for Cambridge based artist Carla Nizzola. Carla’s playfully thought provoking work explores issues around value, art, identity, and female sexuality. Working under a pseudonym allows Carla to overcome the insecurities that come with exhibiting her work, and presents her with the opportunity to reveal aspects of herself that are often hidden from view.
Alma Singer creats art that pokes fun at some of the things we all take more seriously than we should. Many of her works combine images and text to create a purposely naïve style which Alma describes as ‘rubbish’. A key objective for artist Alma Singer is to connect to her audience with a range of subject matter, mostly in a witty, dry, realistic way. Additionally, Alma Singer's artwork “Everything Is Going To Be Ok” showcases her unique talent to pull the audience back to a simpler way of thinking, that may be forgotten in the stress of everyday life. With Alma’s consistent use of bold, primary colours and meaningful, humorous text, her artwork demands attention and to be listened to.
Alma Singer has collaborated with Everyman Cinema and launched artworks and merchandise for their various locations. Alma has also had a recent, successful exhibition with Andipa Gallery.
Jealous gallery are currently holding an exhibition for Alma Singer titled 'Not Big Or Clever', as it explores a distinctly British playground humour through a series of equally childishly conceived drawings. The exhibition is running 31st October - 23rd November 2024.
