ARTISTS
Patrick LoCicero
LoCicero's current paintings continue his interest in the use of overlap and collage, while exploring the tradition of floral still life painting. LoCicero reinterprets the way flowers have usually been depicted by introducing collaged elements from a variety of sources, including the Kama Sutra, antique children's books, letters and journals.
LoCicero's work also makes reference to the idea of traveling in time and space and also as a metaphor for moving through memories and associations. The artist uses overlap and collage to relate to the images he depicts, guiding him in his choice of subjects. His still life paintings resonate due to the contrast the artist sets up between the collaged surface and the painted surface, as well as the play between the actual shallow space and implied deep space. LoCicero's collage paintings inventively reinterpret the collage technique that developed during the Cubist era, and he reinvigorates one of the most important modes of expression in the art of the 20th Century.
LoCicero received his BFA at Ohio State University and took his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. He has shown in galleries all across the US and his works can be found in a great many distinguished public and private collections.
