Charlene Galea is a multIidiscplinary artist whose body is both her canvas and subject of research. Her work stems from her curiosity about the world and the contrasts between online identity and physical experiences, narrated mostly through performance where she has several identities in which she performs. whilst being sensitive to space and sound. These two elements often fuel her to move and tell stories.
Memories of lived experiences and contemporary digital tales alike are her sources of inspiration. The effect of the media and fake news, space and the environment on human relations and communication are all bound together in her story-telling.
Charlene’s body is a prism which collects experiences, processes them and reflects back to the audience. She understands that a woman’s body is subjected to societal restrictions, and this phenomena is conveyed in her performances. Rather than being an art commodity for superficial consumption, her installation work seeks to challenge the viewer, demanding attention and immersion. Intricate political messages are often told in playful, humorous ways. Charlene’s aim is to ask complex questions – not offer answers.
Chalene’s educational background is diverse and includes Tourism studies, Beauty Therapy, BA in Creative Direction for Fashion and MA in Digital Fine Arts. She believes in artistic freedom and intimacy with audience.
