RUTH HUTCHINSON
Hutchinson lives and works in Melbourne.
Ruth Hutchinson works across sculpture and painting. She draws multifarious imagery from both literal and invented sources — from the realms of imagination, myth and, more literally, from the world around her. Using a combination of technical dexterity and strange subject matter, Hutchinson creates a world of imagery that lures and repels in equal measure.
In 1998 Hutchinson presented Gadgets, Gizmos, Giveaways, Marital Aids at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne.
Selected group exhibitions include: The Anatomy Lesson, Ian Potter Museum of Art, University of Melbourne, 2012; Contemporary Australia: Women, Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane, 2012; Hysteria: Past Yet Present, Paul Robeson Galleries, New Jersey, 2009; A Room Inside, Ian Potter Museum of Art, Melbourne, 2006; and Sex and the Settee, Canberra Contemporary Art Space, 2002.
