ARTIST STATEMENT

MYTHOS

'As a painter I imagine that when we, either individually or collectively, recall the past, our mind sifts through layers of memories recorded on transparent ‘pages’ in our mind, to uncover and draw into the present relevant information associated with a particular event or moment in time. As these memories are drawn forward, they invariably pick up fragments and details of any overlaying associated memories creating a context giving the memory meaning.

From the outset I wanted to create works which the viewer could appreciate as pure abstractions, but which contained a figurative or literal architecture in the same way as myths often contain hidden, symbolic and metaphorical meanings built on a literal narrative structure.

It’s my hope that the visitors to this exhibition are able to engage with the works and subject on multiple levels and leave, not only with a meaningful memory of a visual experience, but also, a greater appreciation of the nature and value of our own collective and individual  experiences and memories, and their role in forming our subjective interpretation and understanding of the world in the present.'

Elio Sanciolo, 2024
