Tom Christopherson: Artist Statement & Bio

My intention has always been to make images that create the necessary disturbances in order to provoke permanent, positive change.

My work is intentionally beautiful as its origin, its essential truth, is often brutal and terrifying. After all, you deserve the truth.

Tom Christopherson is an actor, artist and general arts "atrocity" (his own words). Hailing from Adelaide, Tom grew up performing in Fringe Festivals from a young age. Tom completed his Visual Arts degree, specialising in painting, in 2008 at the South Australian School of Art (SASA) before moving to Sydney to attend drama school at the Australian Academy of Dramatic Art (AADA). After graduating from drama school Tom has created award winning portraiture and has performed in art events such as Marina Abramovic’s Project 30 with Kaldor Public Art Projects. Tom has exhibited across the country and has created bespoke commissions for Lady GaGa, Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras and various Australian based fashion and art houses. Tom is inspired by Twin Peaks, dark-streaks and beautiful things which are bad for your health.

Amaya Lang: Artist Statement & Bio

I have a morbid fascination with my own vulnerable corporeality and aim to exploit the abject humour and mutability of the body. Sculptural forms, sound and light are utilised as visceral responses to the body, interpreting the innards as an alien presence in relation to the mind/body gap.

Amaya Lang had her second solo show Fishy at 107 projects in April 2015. She has shown at ANCA Gallery in Canberra in June, Underbelly Arts in August and Sydney Contemporary Art Fair in September 2015. She has a background in media arts and is currently studying a Bachelor of Fine Art majoring in sculpture at UNSW Art & Design.
