Joanna Mortreux

Joanna Mortreux’s work is as much about the weight and materiality of paint as a medium, as it is a standoff between a swarm of unknown creatures and the audience. Her work deals with the unpredictability of nature. Presented in a state of flux the natural order is unbalanced and uncertain. Focusing on the first encounter of a species her work questions the potential outcomes of such an estranged confrontation.

Joanna Mortreux is a graduate of Fine Art from RMIT University and of Psychology from The University of Melbourne. Her work was selected for the 2006 Siemen’s RMIT Fine Art Scholarship Exhibition and shortlisted for the 2007 Millowick Photography award. She works and exhibits in Melbourne.
