Patricia Piccinini

Piccinini (b. 1965, Australian) works in a variety of media, including painting, video, sound, installation, digital prints, and sculpture. Much of her work is concerned with undermining dualisms and creating space for viewers to ask questions through balancing opposing sensations such as real and fake, fun and serious, familiar and strange, attractive and disturbing. Through choice of subject and material, she creates conversations and pushes the expected boundaries of art.
