Richard Killeen

Monkey's Revenge, 1987
 
While Creationists say any search for evolutionary missing links has been fruitless, Killeen proffers a hyper-abundance of links – with Charles Darwin presiding in the centre. The 1987 cut-out Monkey’s Revenge is from one of the key transitional periods of the artist’s impressive career.   1986… Read more

Brent Wong

Meditation, 1970
 
Meditation is like a sunlit version of a dream that recurred through my childhood. As I floated in black space, my body locked in that familiar but discomforting sleeping paralysis, giant, heavy girders floated in military-like formations towards me.

Frances Upritchard

Untitled, 2002-2003, 2006
 
Francis Upritchard (2003 Beck’s Futures finalist in London and 2006 Walters Prize winner in Auckland) has an unerring knack of holding us between the alluring and the completely disgusting. The 2002-03 heads are exemplars of this. Untitled is as much a vile and bilious thing as… Read more
