Pato Bosich: Apotheosis of the Hero
Pato Bosich's art is renowned for its vivid and immersive abstract landscapes, seamlessly intertwining nature and fantasy. Through bold colours, intricate patterns, and a fluid style, his work transports viewers into mesmerising dreamscapes, blurring the lines between reality and the subconscious.
Born in Chile, South America, in 1978, Bosich has emerged as a significant figure in the contemporary art scene, finding his base in London.
His works are included in prestigious institutions such as the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, the Ateneum Art Museum in Finland, The Courtauld Institute, and London University in the UK, as well as the MSSA and MAM Museums in Chile. His global reach extends to showcases at Porter Contemporary in New York, Jano Arts and Fundació Catalunya Amèrica in Barcelona, and Sberbank University in Moscow.
Bosich serves as a conduit, bridging the realms of reality and fantasy, weaving a tapestry of meaning through symbols, archetypes, tropes, and countless other promptings. For this we can say his influences are all the cultural hegemony of humankind, from the more immaterial such as literature, to the more tangible such as the myriads of paintings from art history and artifacts that can be found in the museums and galleries of today. In his paintings he weaves a story that lets your creativity and soul dive in, free to interpret and interact with.
“All the different periods and artists from the European tradition are contemporary to me: they are alive, and I invite them into my circus”, — Pato Bosich
