Kate MccGwire

Unknown Artist — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 08:27:37 +0000

Kate MccGwire’s work asks questions about the very nature of beauty. She’s intrigued by the possibility of envisaging beauty as something more complex than merely what delights the senses: beauty can be about a problem; it can be something that repels you or makes you question the status quo. The idea that it is a cultural phenomenon, susceptible to argument through the creative process, fascinates her.
Much of Kate’s work references Freud’s ‘Unheimliche’ (the uncanny, or, literally, the ‘unhomely’); the idea, to quote Freud, of ‘a place where the familiar can somehow excite fear’. It also embraces artistic notions of the Abject.

Thom Puckey (born 1948, Bexley Heath, Kent, England) is a British sculptor. His experience shows in his masterfully crafted and provocative sculptures. Sex, violence and an air of classical greek sculpture combine to create a lasting image etching it’s way into the viewers psyche. His marble sculptures featuring contemporary subject matter (i.e. chicks with guns) are hands down a success.

Danielle O’Brien

Unknown Artist — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:30:05 +0000

Danielle O’Brien is a Brisbane based painter and sculptor. Drawing on influences ranging from Victorian freak shows, to fairytales and Monty Python, Danielle O’Brien creates intense and ambiguous portraits of imaginary female subjects. Her work has been variously described as strangely-beautiful, feminine, eccentric, delicate, bizarre and old-world. Working mainly in oil and watercolour paintings and miniature relief sculptures, Danielle’s work is often a blend of the sublime and the absurd.

Danielle’s latest imagery explores the distinctively feminine practice of ‘dressing up’ and deals with notions of childhood role-play and make-believe. The eyes are an important motif and function as the proverbial ‘window to the soul’, while elaborate headdresses and objects piled on her subjects’ heads serve as a metaphor for the baggage that we as adults carry around on our shoulders.

Shary Boyle currently lives and works in Toronto. She is a performance artist, sculptor and painter as well as a filmmaker. She has become known for the deeply personal and psychologically moving content of her imagery, which recalls the anxieties, desire and bittersweet fantasy worlds of childhood and adolescence.
