Fani Parali (b. 1983 Greece) lives and works in London. She studied BA Sculpture at Camberwell College of Arts and completed her postgraduate studies at the Royal Academy Schools.
Parali's practice includes sculpture, sound, performance, large-scale painting, drawing and moving image. She is renowned for the creation of 'lip-sync' operas, in which performers mime synthesised audio works; ambitiously scaled installations that are at once other-worldly and deeply human. Parali's practice reflects on the concepts of 'deep time', caregiving and the fragile interconnectivity of human experience.
Notable recent exhibitions include 'Aonyx and Drepan' curated by Fatos Ustek at Frieze Sculpture 2024 with Cooke Latham Gallery; 'The Children of the Future', Cooke Latham Gallery, 2024; 'Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood', Hayward Touring, curated by Hettie Judah; 'Aonyx and Drepan & The Minders of the Warm' at Southwark Park Galleries (2020).
