P16 - PANTOMIMES OF SELF-AMPUTATION FOR SURVIVAL IN THE NORMAL KINGDOM Print

I am a Brazilian artist recently settled in Bergen, Norway. My natural curiosity and restlesness has led me on wonderful adventures over the past fifteen years and my stories are told through my art. My works are an anti-encyclopedia, one continuous evolving drawing, whether my medium be pencil, paint, photograph or other objects. I create interconnected theories based on personal observations of human behaviour and society. My art lurks between pseudo science, mysterious explanations for ordinary occurrences and the dissection of themes such as consumption, control and social dogmas. I have completed my Masters Degree at Goldsmiths College, London and have participated in exhibitions and art residency programmes in Brazil, Czech Republic, UK, Ireland, USA, Iceland, South Korea, India, Spain, France and others. My works integrate several private and public collections such as Zabludowicz Collection, Lodeveans Collection, Museu de Arte do Rio and more. www.fernandachieco.com
