Natalia Pelosi is a multidisciplinary artist who is fixated on the beautifully unconventional and impetuous use of harsh materials, giving a voice to the complexities of growing up and the domestic void we live in. Returning to a place where her physical needs were met, but emotional needs became neglected, Natalia tenuously confronts the hazy toxicity in her family relationships, allowing for a deep sense of comfort and solace to soften the fall.

​

Through an autonomous exploration of two- and three-dimensional collage and sculpture, Natalia uncovers an almost inoperable timeline of a life that she often struggles to connect with. Drawing from a variety of art forms such as Arte Povera and the Italian Baroque, she creates delicate hybrid sculptures that challenge our ever-growing concepts of sculpture and painting.

​

Prompted by the industrialised architecture of housing schemes and council estates in Pilton, Edinburgh where she was raised, Natalia's process attempts to employ materials such as glass, polyurethane foam, recycled foam and spray paint. It is in this process of collaborating and experimenting where she transforms these diverse materials into elegant, ephemeral beings that merge and transpire creating something ultimately unrecognisable; an overpowering, yet ambiguous past.

​

We can see the hermetically constructed walls of a home, a house, a tragedy. Despite a lingering darkness surrounding her past, and difficult relationship with her mother, Natalia insists on nothing but a brighter future.
