Artist: Linton Meagher Born in Sydney in 1975 and studied art at the Julian Ashton School and at the University of Sydney, completing a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Arts) in 1996. Collections include the World Health Organisation (Paris), Xenos and T. & C. Business Consulting (Sydney). ‘My portfolio conveys the progression in my work away from traditional oil on canvas towards more conceptual mixed media work mosaic work with fibreglass and Perspex. Prior exhibitions have focused on the fragmentation of images and have included mosaics made out of glass marbles and hydraulically pressed and machine cut Coca Cola can pieces cast in resin…’ Upcoming exhibition (early 2008), will continue the use of pills and capsules (Encapsulations exhibition) and extend into the use of 20,000 surgical scalpels cast in resin. All the capsules in the artworks are empty and fully encased in fibreglass resin.

Nikita Burt’s exhibition will be on display from the 18th of June until the 5th of July at The Art Vault in Mildura. “Our inner rooms stand witness to our every experience. Our walls bear the marks of growth and indiscretions. Drawing from the notion that physicality is reflected from within the psyche, these inside walls are explored. Borrowed textures from clothes which I inhabit provide the imagery for a surface only glimpsed within the quiet spaces of the mind.” – Nikita Burt, 2009.

His most recent stylistic venture has been in development for 6 years and signals an important stage in his artistic oeuvre. Creating textured encaustics from beeswax and pigments applied to aluminium, he has performed deep investigations into symbols evolving through and creating links between the I Qing, Aboriginal body painting and the Japanese aesthetic principles of wabi sabi.

ORLAN is perhaps most well known in Australia as being the first artist to use surgery for artistic ends with her surgery performances. In 1998 she launched an international exploration into different standards of beauty, beginning in Mexico with Pre-Columbian civilisation. Having refigured her face through a series of plastic surgeries she hybridizes her new image to the aesthetic values from this other cultures. Working with a digital technician to mingle the real with the virtual, taking the ‘other’ inside under her own skin, she creates digital melds of her face with the stone of the Pre-Columbian sculptures, making self-hybridizations in which the grotesque becomes inseparable from the beautiful. Works in this exhibition are for sale.
