Patricia Piccinini
(b. 1965 Sierra Leone) lives in Australia. She received a BFA from the Victorian
College of the Arts. She will have a solo exhibit at Yvon Lambert Gallery in
2009. Recent solo exhibits includes Artium, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain; Frye Museum,
Seattle; Lismore Regional Gallery, Australia; Des Moines Art Center; Roslyn Oxley9
Gallery, Sydney; Robert Miller Gallery, NY; Australian Pavilion, 50th Venice
Biennale, Venice, which toured to the Hara Museum, Tokyo. She has been in scores
of recent group exhibits: Brooklyn Museum; The Hague; Corcoran Museum of Art,
Wash. DC; Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius; Mass Moca; and HVCCA where she had
the centerpiece in FIGURE IT OUT (2005-6). Patricia’s is a unique voice
whose sculptures, photos and drawings are highly technical and always grounded
in a deep concern for the future of our race. Her work is provocative and for
HVCCA served as a significant teaching tool for regional students. Getaway, in
the auction is arguably her most important photo – a strange scene is captured
that includes some humans and her creatures in the woods. The possible continuations
of the narrative are endless.
