About
Lucia Sidonio is an Ōtautahi Christchurch-based artist who works predominantly in painting. Playful in narrative, her works explore moments of human connection and intimacy. Sidonio investigates the relationship between self and the collective. Set in ambiguous and partially imagined spaces, figures are often caught mid performance, leaving the viewer to question their own involvement in the scene. With a particular focus on surface and mark making, subject matter floats between representation and abstraction, opening it to universal interpretation. There is a play between concealing, revealing, and projecting, both from the subject matter and the method being used to describe it. Sidonio graduated with first class honours from the University of Canterbury in 2020.
