TRANSFIGURATION

LULU PINKUS

Arthouse GalleryWed 6 - Sat 23 Feb.

Lulu Pinkus’ latest work explores a fantastical world where characters including Female archetypes, Religious icons and Nature itself, play out a drama of repression, departure, flight and transfiguration. The narrative unfolds within and between the paintings, referencing Classical mythology, Surrealism and Cinema. The work depicts the spectrum from constraint to liberation. The artist builds the work using fine brushes and multiple layers of acrylic washes and varnish.

After attending the National Institute of Dramatic Art in the 1970s, Pinkus worked as an actress in theatre, television and film (notably Mad Max), throughout the early ‘80s. She studied corporeal expression with Margaret Barr, and mime with Jacques Lecoq at his famous school in Paris. She graduated with first-class honours in Arts from Melbourne University, where she majored in Drama and Classical studies. In her new paintings the theatrical metaphors continue to play an important role. Says Pinkus “Both mediums are powerful artistic expressions but painting is so much more personal.”
