PATRICIA CORREA (1960)

Multimedia and multidisciplinary artist, based in Bogotá. BFA and MFA (2009), Corciran College of Arts + Design, Washington DC. Honor Graduate. After working as an economist for more than 20 years, in 2003 a new life journey commenced exploring different art mediums such as pianring, drawing, printmaking and photography. Nature, portraiture and historic memory are key themes of her work. She usually starts her projects by extensive research on scientific, social or history issues to tell stories or express ideas through visual arts media. She has made three solo exhibitions in Colombia and participated in more than twelve collective and collaboratory shows in Colombia and the USA. Her last show, entitled "Change is the only constant",  focuses on urban history, telling stories about a recently demolished monument in Bogotá (Monumento a los Héroes) and tits neighborhood through large scale murals made of tiles with photographic images in blue and white, printed using three techniques: cyanotypes, screen-printing and gel transfers.

 

Artista multimedios residente en Bogotá, con grado en Bellas Artes (Bachellor of Fine Arts, 2009) y mención de honor de la escuela de artes de Washington D.C., Corcoran College of Art + Design. Después de ejercer durante 20 años la profesión de economía, en el 2003 comenzó un viaje de permanente exploración artística en diferentes medios, principalmente la pintura, el dibujo, el grabado y la fotografía. Usualmente comienza sus proyectos con una investigación basada en textos científicos, sociales o históricos, para luego contar historias a través de lenguajes que pertenecen a las artes visuales.Ha realizado tres exposiciones individuales en Colombia y ha participado en más de 12 exposiciones colectivas en Colombia y Estados Unidos. Su exposición más reciente, titulada "Lo Unico permanenete es el Cambio", se enfoca en la memoria histórica urbana, concretamente la historia del recién demolido monumento icónico de Bogotá, el Monumento a los Héroes, y sus calles aledañas. Esta exposición cuenta historias a través de murales de gran escala construidos con azulejos que proyectan imágenes fotográficas en azul y blanco, transferidas a baldosas con técnicas como el cianotipo, la serigrafía y las transferencias con gel acrílica.
