Patricia Piccinini Australian, b. 1965-
Patricia Piccinini (b. 1965 in Freetown, Sierra Leone) is a Canberra-raised, Melbourne-based artist who works across painting, video, sound, installation, digital prints, and sculpture. Conveying concerns surrounding bio-ethics and allowing experimental forms to call attention to global social, political, and environmental issues, Piccinini has made significant impressions on the international stage since the late 1990s. In 2003, Piccinini represented Australia at the 50th Venice Biennale with a collection of her now trademark, hyperrealist anthropomorphic animal sculptures. Her works gaining more and more notoriety in the proceeding years, The Art Newspaper named Piccinini the most popular contemporary artist in the world after a showin Rio de Janeiro in 2016 attracted over 444,000 visitors. Her work has been placed in numerous international public collections of distinction including The National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington DC, USA, the Thomas Olbricht Collection, Berlin, Germany, The Vehbi Koç Foundation, Istanbul, Turkey, Phoenix Art Museum, Arizona, USA. Middelheim Museum, Antwerp, Belgium, National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane, Australia, Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia, Monash University, Victoria, Australia, The University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Parliament House, Canberra, Australia, and more.
In the seductive "car panel" sculpture, Spunky, from the Autoerotic series of 2002, Piccinini focusses on our love affair with cars, highlighting them as objects of desire. Made of abstracted squares of moulded plastic, these brightly coloured grids ooze sensuality and in their shiny mirrored surfaces, we gaze upon our own reflection.
