Australian artist Amanda Parer’s edgy and ephemeral artworks explore the natural world, its fragility and our role within it. Amanda’s work features startlingly beautiful creatures enlarged and frozen within their chosen habitats. When viewing one of these iconic, mostly feral animals inhabiting a beautifully haunting landscape, the environmental message is enhanced by the artist’s finely crafted traditional technique in any of her chosen mediums, such as painting, sculpture and public installation

Australian visual artist, Amanda Parer, challenges the notion of scale through her enchanting pieces that explore the environment and the role of human beings in it. Amanda’s work often takes form as a painting, a sculpture or a public installation.

ARTIST STATEMENT
In my artwork I aim to raise questions about the natural world and our place within it. I try to communicate this by using light and dark, humour and drama. I aim to entice my audience with beautiful, mostly feral creatures enlarged within their given habitats. Scale and attention to detail is reflected not only in large-scale sculptures and public art installations but also to smaller, more intimate sculptures and paintings.
