LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM (B.1984)

PANG

Born in the UK, Fipsi Seilern is a London based artist working across several mediums. She attended the Charles Cecil painting atelier in Florence, and has exhibited in London, Berlin, New York, Vienna, Stockholm and Murcia. Public interventions under the pseudonym PANG have shaped an ongoing dialogue between graffiti and classical painting. She graduated with an MA in Fine Art at City and Guilds of London Art School in 2020

"Painting is revered. Graffiti is not. Why is painting at the top of the “art food chain”, when graffiti is as old as mankind? What makes an artist? The graffiti inside a club toilet might have a million private viewers over the years, whereas the art inside a gallery or museum is only accessible for a finite period of time, and for a price."

'Latrinalia Lads' is the aptly name collection you see below.

“Language is the cornerstone of our entire civilisation. It consolidates our individual, social and national identities, and can both empower and destroy us. These mouth noises can move mountains before disappearing into thin air. Unless written down.

But what happens when you take injurious language out of context?

By memorialising both of these things together, slathering the low-brow onto the high brow, am I making my painting better or worse? Am I empowering myself or devaluing my painting?

I like to imagine a classical painter like Rembrandt sitting and having a conversation with a graffiti writer, and what they might say to each other. Would they be bewildered or intrigued? As artists, and indeed humans, there would be much to exchange and learn from one other.”
