About The Artwork

"Padlock Necklace" showcases a woman whose early body didn't suit her soul and she felt trapped in it. By re-arranging her own skin, hair and muscles, she found the key to unlocking herself from that prison and ultimately becoming, as she says: a "body that matters". Petrone's interest in gender theory has resulted in sittings with friends whose gender identity is the subject of captivating discussions, involving the studies by American philosopher Judith Buttler ("Bodies that matter", "Gender Trouble"), and conversations on the subject with university colleagues who often sit for the artist.

M. Petrone (b. 1975, Brazil) To Petrone, painting is a means through which re-thinking culture is suggested to the viewer. His figurative studies reject historically imposed aesthetics and focus on abbreviations of human routines, laid out on canvas, waiting to be studied, to be analysed. They are echoes of cultures, but culture can mean nothing at all, if in its representation one cannot see oneself rightfully depicted. Petrone tries to achieve revised ways of human representation in his paintings, and his approach to storytelling gazes at the unsung heroes and heroines of his culturally and linguistically hybrid upbringing, reflecting upon the rich, colourful and diverse elements they carry with them. Naturally attracted to painting figurative expressionism and narratives, Petrone visits the beautiful and the happy, as well as the eerie and the grotesque in his artwork. He has been featured in Artist Talk Magazine, British Vogue and Brazilian Newspapers. Petrone works and lives in London, United Kingdom.
