Metaflora - Twin Rivers Mouth 2015
Not restricted to the amalgamation of human, mechanical and animal forms, Patricia Piccinini is able to connect her chimeric imaginings to the botanical world.
Born in Sierra Leone, but having lived most of her life in Melbourne, artist Patricia Piccinini is holding her largest ever solo exhibition in Brisbane's QAGOMA. No stranger to successful showings; she represented Australia at the 2003 Venice Biennale and drew 1.4 million viewers to a Brazilian exhibition.
Piccinini draws on the natural world, science, medicine and technology for her transgenic, hyper-realistic creations. Her Brisbane collection, entitled 'Curious Affection' focuses on family, motherhood and nurturing. Her subjects evoke a broad range of reactions and emotions - sometimes shocking and confronting , but just as often endearing.
