Artists

Ceciilia Fattorini studied at the Byam Shaw College of Art, London, graduating in 1983 with an honours degree in fine art.

Towards the end of her time at Byam Shaw she became interested in holography and spent two years working in this embryonic field. Whilst remaining fascinated by the concepts and possibilities of holography however, she realised her true vocation lay in art.  Now, after fourteen years travelling around the world with a military husband, a period of time stationed in Somerset has allowed her to pursue her painting.

She re-launched her painting career in 2006 with a highly successful exhibition in Cork Street, London (repeated with equal success again this year) and the 2007 London and Bristol Affordable Art Fairs with Bowlish Contemporary Gallery. Bowlish plans to take her work to the 2008 Edinburgh Art Fair in November.

Cecilia's work has always been concerned with the rhythms and processes of nature and the spatial illusions caused by the movement of light. The ability of reflected light to visually mutate the substance and significance of a form, often rendering incorporeal and solid matter apparently interchangeable, has always been a source of fascination for her. The use of silver leaf, a spatially abstracting but incorrigible medium, has been a continuing love affair since college and a tightrope that promises to continue in much of her work.
