09 apr Samtidskunstner Miranda Skoczek
Miranda Skoczek er en samtidskunstner som er basert i Melbourne Australia. Født på samme sted i 1977 betyr at hun er akkurat like gammel som meg selv. Hun har et studio i St Kilda der hun jobber. Hun lager ikke bare stilig kunst, men har en superkul og varm personlighet som reflekteres i kunsten hun lager. Dette er ikke bare tilfeldig samtidskunst. Det er skikkelig kunst.
Det samtidskunstner Miranda lager er i aller høyeste grad abstrakt kunst og hun jobber med form, farge, komposisjon og innhold. Hun henter inspirasjon fra ikonografien fra gamle kulturer, noe som gir verkene hennes et tidløst preg selv om de er samtidige. De omfavner antikken og samtiden på samme tid.
Naturen har sin plass og forskjellige dyr og fugler har funnet sin vei inn i verkene hennes. Ikke minst sebraen har blitt med i mange av kunstverkene til Miranda Skoczek. Disse verkene vil passe perfekt med ekte sebraskinn. Glade farger på veggen og ekte vare på gulvet. En farlig kombinasjon av luksus og stil.

MIRANDA SKOCZEK – samtidskunstner
Her canvases are immersive, engaging the viewer both physically and emotionally – allowing an escape into a world of fantasy, opulence and the sublime – offering sanctuaries for the self.
BIO
Born in Melbourne in 1977, Miranda Skoczek is an Australian artist who graduated from the Victorian College of the Arts in 2004. She has exhibited her painting’s internationally, as well as throughout Australia in numerous solo and group exhibitions.
She unashamedly delights in creating pictures that are joyous and celebratory, and has attracted attention for paintings that focus on pure process, blurring the lines between representation, abstraction, design and the painterly. ‘I’ve grown up in an image–saturated society and I enjoy placing disparate imagery and iconography together in a harmonious, and hopefully, beautiful way. Having travelled extensively, my engagement with different culture’s, most notably ancient ones, has manifested in a practice which borrows from the history of image making.’ Coupled with an awareness of high fashion, and a penchant for glossy International magazines, Skoczek brings together historical references, and the ‘Now’ with more quiet, intuitive mark making, revelling in the tensions they create.
Places experienced, and those imagined, softly rendered marks accompany bold and graphic shapes. Her canvases are immersive, engaging the viewer both physically and emotionally – allowing an escape into a world of fantasy, opulence and the sublime – offering sanctuaries for the self.
Skoczek’s practice has seen paintings acquired by numerous local and International collectors, Artbank, and countless sell out shows in her more than 10 years as an exhibiting artist. Most recently included in Vogue Living’s New Generation – as some of today’s brightest crop of design, art and architecture. Miranda lives in Melbourne with her young son Harper Atticus.
