-
Patricia Piccinini was born in 1965 and primarily engages in sculptural activities. She is currently a leading avant-garde artist in Australia, always emphasizing the harmony and coexistence of artificial and natural elements.
Her works include the creation of unfamiliar and bizarre forms of life and they attract considerable attention from the media. Her sculptures explore the relationship between humanity and the natural environment in a broader dimension, influenced by the advancement of modern technology. Through these forms, she aims to demonstrate and propose how much damage humanity can repair in the environment, and whether coexistence is possible. The main themes of her work revolve around issues often overlooked by men, such as reproduction and motherhood, harmony and coexistence.
페트리샤 피치니니는 1965년 태어나 조각을 주로 다루는 작품활동을 하고 있다. 그녀는 현재 호주를 대표하는 아방가르드 작가이며 항상 인공물과 자연의 조화 그리고 공존을 중시한다.
보는 이를 착각하게 만드는 극사실 조각기법과 낯설고 기이한 형태의 생명체를 창조해내는 그녀의 작품은 많은 언론의 관심을 받고 있다. 그녀의 조각은 현대기술의 발전에 따른 인간성과 자연환경의 관계를 보다 폭 넓은 차원으로 다루고 있다. 이러한 형상들을 통해 인류가 환경에 끼친 피해를 얼마나 회복할 수 있는지, 또 공존할 수 있는가를 보여주고 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다. 작품의 주된 주제는 남성들이 잘 다루지 않는 생산과 모성애, 화합과 공존이다.
