Attua Aparicio Torinos
Attua Aparicio is a London-based multidisciplinary artist working in the intersection of design, craft and art. She graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2011 with MA Design Products. Her practice is driven by material research and direct experimentation. She is interested in sustainability, material hybridisation and tactility. Collaborations are a fundamental part of her practice; she co-founded Silo Studio with Oscar Lessing and she also collaborates regularly with her sister, artist Saelia Aparicio.
Recent exhibitions include the solo presentation ‘Push-ups’, arranged with the support of the Swedish Art Associations at Ifö Center in 2021, travelling to Form Design Center, Malmö in 2022. In 2021 she was part of the group show 'Blue jeans & brown clay' at Kate MacGarry, London, curated by Mariah Nielson, and also undertook a funded residency at Cove Park, Scotland. In 2020 she was part of a two-person presentation, with Erika Emeren, at Collectable, Brussels with MRD Gallery, and completed a four-month residency at Ifö Center, supported by Bromölla municipality. In 2019, she was awarded a three-month residency at Jingdezhen International Studio, China, which was co-funded by the European Ceramic Workcenter -EKWC- and Taoxicuan Ceramic Art Avenue and resulted in a group touring exhibition ‘A Taste of Ceramics’.
