Petrina Hicks utilises the seductive and glossy language of commercial photography to create artworks that probe at the false promise of perfection, exploring photography’s ability to both create and corrupt the process of seduction and consumption.
Petrina Hicks has exhibited widely through solo and groups shows in Australia, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, USA, UK, Japan, China, Mexico and Brazil. In May 2015, Hicks will take part in the Head On Photo Festival 2015 in Sydney, the inaugural Photo London fair and Michael Reid Berlin. Hicks has contributed to various national and international collections including: National Gallery of Australia, AGNSW, Queensland Art Gallery, Tweed River City Art Gallery, National Gallery of Victoria. Hicks has been awarded various notable prizes and residencies including; Josephine Ulrick Photography Award for Portraiture, 2008 ABN Emerging Artist Award, La Cite, Paris Residency, Art Gallery of NSW and 8 month Fellowship, Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stuttgart, Germany.
