Biography
Peter Corlett is a leading Australian figurative sculptor. In the past 40 years he has completed over 30 major public sculpture commissions. Best known for his full-figure portrait sculptures cast in bronze, his earlier abstract works and ‘supra-realist’ works of the 1960’s - early 1980’s in concrete and fibre-glass are also found in local and overseas galleries and private collections. He created the Australian Light Horse WW1 memorial sculpture unveiled in 2008 at Be’er Sheva, Israel.
Peter’s work, whether the Casterton Kelpie , Phar Lap , Simpson and his Donkey , or supernaturals such as Pegasus and Fortuna , and his human subjects, is inspired by his grasping for the mythic archetype. His creative struggle is aided by technical skill gained over many years and collaboration with Meridian Sculpture Founders, Fitzroy, in Melbourne.
Louise Skačej’s sculptural practice is an explorational journey through the architecture of the natural world. It examines the intercept between interior and exterior landscapes, the physical and the emotional, the documented and the imagined, the stroma and parenchyma of the universe.
