Patrick LoCicero

Artist Statement:

My current paintings continue with my interest in the use of overlap and collage. In my recent work I explore the tradition of floral still life painting. I reinterpret the way flowers have usually been depicted and instead introduce collaged pages from books such as the kama sutra, letters and journals and old children’s books.
My work also makes references to the idea of traveling and the act of moving not only from one place to another but also from one time period to another. The work refers to the idea of traveling as a metaphor for multiple kinds of passages. I am interested in both the idea of physically moving from one place to another and the idea of moving through memories and associations from one time period to another.
The use of overlap and collage in my paintings is directly related to the images I depict. I use the collage material to guide me to the depiction of the objects that will become the focus of the painting. I am interested in the contrasts that are set up between the collaged surfaces and the painted surfaces as well as the play between the actual shallow space and the implied deep space.
