Patricia Pisanelli is a Brazilian artist based in the UK.
Patricia’s work focuses on hybrid identities due to migration, using language to explore the transiency of cultural adaptations. Responding to daily life bilingually, Patricia is interested in the connection between translation and semantics, the subjectivity of constructed meanings and how language can be both malleable and chaotic. Via the collision between sculpture and painting, her practice explores the duality of language in a world that is becoming increasingly polarised.
Patricia attempts to decode subjects by over-manipulating their aesthetic characteristics whilst examining their historical and social context.
Through an inverted route, the creative process leads to conceptual research. Serendipity plays a big part in this process.
Patricia uses DIY and ephemeral materials for her projects alongside traditional painting techniques, borrowing references from urban social living, finding humour in the absurd in a world that's becoming increasingly erratic.
