Marco Piccari

Discipline:

Painter, Visual Artist

Location:

London

ABOUT:

My painting practice is informed by the struggle to find a safe place for identity and community - and the inevitable escapism that follows: through places of virtual and physical refuge, in the glory of the past, and in the realm of fantasy.

I'm particularly concerned with the ambiguous reality of being queer in the age of neoliberalism.

I work in layers, mixing mark-making with cancellation, to recreate the complex placement of queer history within our present.

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
