Patricia Bidi’s latest exhibition explores her Peruvian background: dreams and traces of childhood memories; the sun, energy, and festivals of her native country alongside her experience of living in London. Bidi’s linocuts celebrate life’s seminal moments and new beginnings through her playful and poetic imagination, perpetually submerging the viewer within her own dynamic iconography, her own realm of storytelling.
The imagery, the visions of life-affirming energy she depicts reference London's urban realm and the Inca culture within a dynamic amalgam of landscape and ethnic art. These are dreams, intimate surrealist settings, fluctuations of the past intermingled with present and future elements that emulate the processes of our own subconscious.
