Patricia Camet Peruvian, b. 1962

Peruvian artist Patricia Camet’s (b. 1962 New York) work consistently reflects on the problems caused by our patterns of excessive consumption, our impact on the environment, and our new forms of communication. She becomes an archaeologist of the present, producing iconic objects from our material culture of instant gratification. By sanctifying everyday objects and landscapes familiar to her, she poetically reveals the challenges of our accelerated lives and the consequences that we don’t take the time to understand. Playful and tender, the works of Camet should also be understood as an educational project of universal scope. 

Camet holds a Master’s Degree in Art from the School of Design in Rhode Island. She lives and works in Lima, Peru. Recent solo exhibitions include 2022 NADA Miami, USA (2022); Trashy Politicians, LAMB, São Paulo (2019); Huacamets, The Molotov Party, Galería del Paseo, Lima, Peru (2019); The Molotov Party, Emoticons x M 2, Galería Ponce+Robles, Madrid, Spain (2018); I am Rosa, LAMB, London, United Kingdom (2016).
