Sydney Contemporary 2023: Petrina Hicks

At Sydney Contemporary 2023 Petrina Hicks will present an arresting installation of photo-media from her precisely articulated Biophilia series, one which takes its narrative inspiration from the indistinct space between human and animal states.

Since making its debut at Michael Reid Sydney in June 2023, Biophilia has exhibited in Italy and will soon commence a cross-country tour from east coast to west. Sydney Contemporary 2023 will see highlights from this series displayed in an utterly compelling way.

Petrina Hicks’ work lives outside comprehensible time, supplying an entrancing state of engagement that is rarely encountered in still photographic art. Hicks’ command of symbolism, motif and metaphor connect wonderfully with her incomparable vision, offering alternative modes of learning about the nature of the human condition.
