Fiorella Angelini (1990) is a Chilean artist living and working in London. She recently graduated with distinction from the MFA Master in Fine Art Media, at The Slade School of Art (University College of London), after being awarded a Chilean Government scholarship. In 2012 she achieved a Bachelor in Fine Art (BFA) and in 2013 a Pedagogy Degree at Universidad Finis Terrae (CL). She has exhibited in South America, Europe, and Asia. Among her latest exhibitions are: “Photo London 2021” at Somerset House (UK), “Slade Summer Shows 2021” at Slade School of Art (UK); “Form” at CICA Museum (KR); “London Grads Now” at Saatchi Gallery (UK); “RCA & Slade Degree Show” at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery (UK); “Imagino el mar” solo show Sala Arte CCU (CL); “Poetry Festival” at NCLA Centre Literary Arts (UK).

Angelini’s work spans installation, photography and video to explore the issues that affect nature, territory, and memory. As an artist, she’s interested in pushing the boundaries of video and analogue photography, as a component within installation and sculptural pieces. Metals, plastics and natural fibres are the materials she uses to transform the photographs into volumetric elements. While fiction and documentary are some of the approaches she uses for video making. The work relies on the South American terrain and how (post) colonialism marks the territory and explores the idea of belonging as a fleeting identification with the landscape.

Among the awards he has received are the Sarabande Emerging Artist Award 2021 from the Sarabande Foundation (UK); Commission for the Acquisition of Works of Visual Arts 2020 of the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage of Chile (CL); Honorable mention in the Art Connect Correspondence 2020 contest (UK); Commission for TATE Christmas Postcards 2020 by TATE (UK), selected in The Graduate Art Prize 2019 and in Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2019 (UK).
