Annette Allman (b. Wellington, Aotearoa/New Zealand) is a Melbourne (Naarm) based visual artist working full-time from her studio in Brunswick, Australia.
Starting as a figurative and portraiture painter, Allman has vastly expanded her mediums and practice to best express the conceptual drive and development of her work. Her works include painting, metalwork, glass, ceramics, textiles, animal waste, taxidermy, glass and bronze casting. Informed by her former years working as a clinical psychologist; psychology, spirituality and the intrapersonal play key themes across her numerous bodies of work with strong commentary on feminist and current socio-political issues.
Annette strongly aligns with artist Sherrie Rabinowitz’s notion that we must create on the same scale that humanity has the capacity to consume and destroy.
Represented by Sorse Gallery, Melbourne.
Annette acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woiwurrung people as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which she lives and creates. She pays her respect to their Elders past, present and emerging and extends that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
