Mythologies

Petrina Hicks is a pivotal figure in contemporary Australian photography, with a broad impact that extends to Western Australia through exhibitions and cultural influence. Her work challenges conventional perceptions and engages audiences with its striking aesthetic and profound thematic depth.

Abdul-Rahman Abdullah’s work often features realistic, life-sized sculptures that engage with his experiences as a Muslim Australian. Abdul-Rahman Abdullah is a significant figure in contemporary Australian art, with a profound impact on the cultural landscape of Western Australia.

Mythologies places Petrina Hicks’ photographs in conversation with a suite of sculptures by leading Perth-based contemporary artist Abdul-Rahman Abdullah, whose work similarly delights in chimerical forms, folkloric allusions, and beguiling encounters between humans and animals.
