AES+F

AES+F is a collective of four artists: conceptual architects Tatiana Arzamasova and Lev Evzovich, multidisciplinary designer Evgeny Svyatsky and photographer Vladimir Fridkes. Taking form as sweeping multi-channel video installations, AES+F are renowned for their ornate and highly theatrical aesthetic.

Shaun Gladwell

Taking physical interaction as a starting point, Shaun Gladwell’s works often explore the interplay between gesture and form. Using the medium to record performative actions – dance, sport, biking, skateboarding – the artist combines rhythmic, poetic and theatrical elements, while distorting speed, gravity, space and time.

Ronnie van Hout

Working across installation, sculpture and photography, Melbourne-based artist Ronnie van Hout’s works aesthetic reflects and ongoing engagement with the uncanny. Throughout his career, the artist has treated his own body as subject and object, using moulds and resin to create doppelgangers, or warped renditions of himself.

Sam Jinks The Deposition 2017 - Part I

The deposition bridges a gap between two important earlier figure groups by Sam Jinks, The pieta 2007 and Woman and child. While the arrangement of seated and kneeling familial figures is instantly recognisable throughout the course of art history, this is a modern-day iteration of the biblical story of the Deposition of Christ.

Marc Quinn

Marc Quinn first came to prominence in the early 1990s and is described as one of the founding figures of the British contemporary art movement. Well-known for Self, a sculpture of the artist created using his own frozen blood, with this work Quinn radically redefined notions of how to make and experience portraiture.

Sam Jinks

The Australian artist Sam Jinks first worked as an illustrator and only learned about making sculptural works out of silicone and latex during a stint in the film industry. His hyperrealistic representations of the body, which he produces by means of clay casts and poured silicone, achieve an almost uncanny naturalism.

Patricia Piccinini

Piccinini, who studied economic history and painting, is an Australian artist who creates intermediary beings out of silicone and plastic that are either half animal and half human, or are combinations of the cyber-technological and the human.
