ZOE TWEEDALE
A recent graduate, Zoe completed her BFA Honours in painting in 2011 at the National Art School, Sydney where she was a recipient of a William Fletcher Foundation Grant.
“My current works are part of a larger ongoing body of work entitled Bestiary: a collection and examination of broadly theatrical characters, linked by a focus on aspects of ‘beasts’ and ‘beastliness’ in both animals and humans
The ‘beasts’ comprising my bestiary are both human and animal, representations of types, species and personalities, with animals functioning as both a challenge and companion to the human characters
Singular and iconic on their otherwise empty coloured stages, the characters in my paintings form part of an examination of the animal, ‘beast’ characteristics innate in humans, and of ‘human’ traits in animals, and how we can perceive certain species as being heroic, cowardly or malicious.”
