Bruno Pacheco has immersed himself in the medium of painting for nearly 30 years, during which time he has worked across innumerable subjects and styles.

Fluidity is central to his approach.

Further information on the artist, taken from Hollybush Gardens website:

“A central concern in Bruno Pacheco’s practice is painting’s mimetic potential. This manifests conceptually through subject matters that interrogate the history of representation within painting as well as the limits of pictorial illusion, and formally through a practice characterised by the repetition of the same motif over a number of works. From ordinary motifs to classical references, Pacheco creates numerous paintings from one subject of focus, ranging from fungi to wetsuits, canonical murals to historical tapestries. This involves a process of ‘neutralisation’ where figure and ground appear collapsed, destabilising the visual hierarchies of the illusory perspective.”
