Vanessa Morata
Born in Malaga, Spain,1992. Currently based in Spain.
Vanessa Morata is a visual artist graduated from the Fine Arts of Malaga. She is alerted of the social issue raised from over population and abusive consumption, and attempted to criticize these problems in a cryptic aspect, hiding her message under the seemingly friendly aesthetic. Morata uses a wide range of popular cultural reference, introducing iconic characters from cartoons to contemporary art which are staged in complex interiors. Her works are visually and ideologically a puzzle waiting for the audiences to solve.
1992年出生於西班牙馬拉加。 目前居住在西班牙。
Vanessa Morata是畢業於馬拉加美術學院的視覺藝術家。她非常關注人口過剩和濫用消費而引發的社會問題,並嘗試以隱晦的方式批評這些議題,將她的訊息隱藏在看似友善平和的審美之下。藝術家大量使用了為人熟知的流行文化參考,將卡通動漫和當代藝術的一些標誌性角色融入到作品中,放置這些人物在物品繁瑣的室內空間中。Morata的作品在視覺上和思想上都是一個等待觀眾解開的拼圖。
