Paul Prato

Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting)

I explore the translation of personal narrative into material reality through a multi-disciplinary approach. Terrazzo, film and bronze casting enable an expression of the interconnectivity between histories and subjectivities. Recontextualising traditional techniques in a contemporary setting reveals the narrative potential of my chosen materials, creating a theatre of overlay.

My artistic output is informed by growing up and working on a peach orchard in Shepparton, by my previous studies in philosophy and by a strong connection to my Italian heritage.
