Francesco Patriarca

Francesco Patriarca is an italian multimedia artist. 

His research is based on different expressive languages that include painting, photography, drawing, installation and music . 

Patriarca translates his visual thoughts in cycles of works that are conceived as a personal diary, an ongoing visual biography that embraces both the abstract and the figurative. 

Born in Rome in 1974 he has studied, lived and worked in the UK, France and the USA. He has extensively shown his work in site specific installations in both museums and private institutions worldwide from 2002 to 2025. 

Current exhibitions for 2025:

His last book and exhibition project for 2025 is called ‘Clay Ghost’ and it has been exhibited in Rome at Galleria Eddart,  in Paris at Galerie Yvon Lambert, in London at Artvisor and in New York at Coffey Street Studios.

He is  preparing an exhibition project this summer in Georgia for ‘Fotografia Gallery' in Tbilisi called "The Seylanov Brothers” which will include a theater  performance written and performed by him.
