PETRINA HICKS: Bleached Gothic - career survey at the National Galley of Victoria

Petrina Hicks: Bleached Gothic is the first major survey exhibition of photographer Petrina Hicks at the National Gallery of Victoria. Over her fifteen-year career, Hicks (1972– ) has gained a strong reputation for her large-scale, hyperreal photographs that subvert and disrupt the photographic language of advertising and portraiture. Hicks photographs children, animals and young women against simple backgrounds, returning to the same models and motifs frequently to define and hone her distinctive style.
