« Selected Photographs, 2013 » of Petrina Hicks
Helen Gory Galerie, Melbourne is excited to present an exhibition of selected photographs by Petrina Hicks.
Hicks has been awarded extensive awards and grants for her large-scale, hyper-real photographs and video works that are as beautiful as they are unsettling. Her slick, stylized images at once entice and disconcert the viewer. At first glance her luminous works draw you in, much like the sensuous advertising imagery they reference and co-opt. Yet look closer and subtle ruptures and ambiguities surface, unsettling the promise of perfection embedded in each image. In so doing, Hick weighs in on photograph’s dual role as both truth-teller and perpetrator of fictions.
Hicks’ new photographs include both portrait and still life, capturing her subjects against a muted, neutral backdrop with a star... - Exposition
La galerie Stills célèbre la fin de sa saison avec une exposition collective
Chaque année, Stills Gallery célèbre la transition d'une année à l'autre par une exposition collective des artistes de la galerie Stills. Cette année présente les nouveaux travaux provenant des séries; Season 11.
On y retrouve les travaux de la populaire Petrina Hicks, avec sa série Huppy and the Snake, mais aussi Mark Kimber avec la série The Cloud Chamber. Il y a aussi le français Gilbert Garcin qui a beaucoup travaillé sur les années 80's, et qui présentera sa série The Man Who is an Image (déjà exposée au Head On Photo Festival de Paddington). De plus, il y a les travaux de Marketa Luskacova, une photographe tchèque dont la sensibilité poétique est tr&e... - Exposition
Petrina Hicks - Beautiful Creatures
p { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; }
Petrina Hicks’ Beautiful Creatures appeals to our senses. Immediately alluring the large-scale, hyper-real photographs, are all rendered so clearly and with such control that they are reminiscent of advertisements, promoting a slick new television series perhaps, or teen clothing range. But with a series of little ruptures, within images and between them, Hicks disrupts our usually beguiled response to such artistry. For her, photography’s capability to both create and corrupt the process of seduction and consumption, is of endless interest.
Hicks loads her images with history and with associations but denies us a clear message. Along with the ambiguity, there is a visceral quality in these new works, her depiction of flesh, hair and veins stops the viewer short of being... - Exposition
Season10 - Stills Gallery, Sydney
In SEASON10 we are featuring a mix of unseen images and work selected from previous series by each artist, with an emphasis on summer and celebration.
Narelle Autio’s Seaweed Stacks is an intriguing image of sculptural seaweed forms on the beach near her home. The coast and water has been an ongoing inspiration for Autio, as is evident in her 2006 series celebrating bodies spontaneously at play beneath the surface of the water. Trent Parke is represented with gems from a current work in progress, The Black Rose, which is about coming to terms with the interconnectedness of past, present and future. Also showing will be favourites from The Christmas Tree Bucket series.
In her new images In Lieu, Like A Bird Now and The Ravellor, Pat Brassington continues her fascination with the transformed human body as a sit... - Exposition
Every rose has its thorn: Petrine hicks
Petrina Hicks is adept at using the seductive and glossy language of commercial photography to create works that probe the false promises of perfection. Every Rose Has Its Thorn, is a precursor to a larger exhibition to be held in early 2011. The works have been created during a number of overseas residencies that became possible after winning the ABN AMRO Emerging Artist Award in 2008 with the unsettling image Lambswool.
In a time when so much fine art photography embraces the banal and anti-aesthetic as a distancing device from ever-seductive commercial imagery, Hicks has taken a radically alternative approach. She seeks to seduce. Inspired by the overt lushness and tangible quality of Baroque painting and continuing a preoccupation with the aesthetics of advertising, Hicks explores the high and low art of persuasio... - Exposition
Petrina Hicks stills gallery
Petrina Hicks' immaculate large-scale portraiture represents something more than individual likeness. Beneath the highly polished and controlled surface of her images lies an eerie, unsettling psychological distance. Hicks' works probe those dualities that are at the heart of contemporary photography - traversing the fine lines between closeness and distance, between perfection and imperfection and between truth and falseness. For Hicks these are qualities that punctuate the continuum from animal to cyborg, her subjects exist somewhere between human and computer creation.
Clear eyed and smooth skinned, her young sitters are almost excessively perfect. The distinction between what was captured on camera and what Hicks has digitally created is imperceptible. In an interesting departure, The Descendants includes a series... - Exposition
