“This series has been collected by the chicest of tastemakers and some of Tappan's most discerning collectors. These paintings mix ultra clay mattes with vibrant statements, botanical dyes and pigments. They juxtapose glowing neons with primal gestures that celebrate the marriage of latent archaic sensibilities with contemporary tradition, sensuality and artistic expression."

"I love Ali's large scale paintings; the saturation grabs your eye and is visually interesting, which can add just the right pop to an otherwise neutral room. I think all of her heavily saturated paintings are very striking." -AO

“It's the juxtaposition of old and new that really draws me into this subtle yet vibrant piece by Ali Beletic. There is a joyfulness about this that plays to my visual senses.” - Jen Samson

“From the outset of her career as an artist and musician, Ali has rebelled against convention, juxtaposing editorial, personal narrative and vanguardism.

Her artwork includes creating and hosting large scale experiential installations, Vanguard Parties, Earth Art Ceremonies and Environments as well as traditional gallery shows - all intending to create evocative experiences for the modern art community to have access to celebration, party as ceremony, ancient emotions, latent instincts and 360 degree sensual experiences.”

"My family will be celebrating the holidays from our new weekend house for the first time this winter. We designed the space (with the marvelous Hendricks Churchill) to be a respite from NYC. As such, we were immediately drawn to soothing abstract art. Ali Beletic's serene but joyful work is a foundation for the aesthetic in our house. "

Alyssa Coscarelli

“I TEND TO WANT MY ART TO MAKE A STATEMENT AND BE THE CONVERSATION STARTER IN THE ROOM, AND AS A WRITER IN A FORMER LIFE, I'M ALWAYS DRAWN TO WORD-DRIVEN PIECES, WHICH ALI DOES SO WELL. BONUS POINTS IF THEY'RE A BIT CLEVER OR TONGUE-IN-CHEEK.”

“My client loved the rich aubergine and deep purple Schuyler Samperton floral textiles I pulled for the sofa pillows paired with vintage pillows and a handwoven aubergine wool rug by Armadillo. We wanted an art piece that highlighted these tones without being too matchy -something abstract, with color and an edge. The scale and vibe of Ali’s piece was IT as soon as we saw it. The lavender tones and the bits of neon green are so interesting and the scale was perfect. It was exactly the piece we were looking for to complete the space.”

“Two pieces of art stand out: “Pray for Surf” by Ali Beletic which reminds us of the simple things in life, alongside a more complex original print series by Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier.”
