Louise Bourgeois is know for her collusion of surrealistic, anthropomorphic art that explores sexuality, relationships, identity and innocence through decapitated bodies, and twisted grand sculptures. Some of her greatest works include Spider, in which a gargantuan spider is positioned over a mesh cell, protecting the insides. It was a tribute to the artist’s mother, who she believed was a spider since spiders can weave, protect and fight.
Following up to Louise Bourgeois: Late Works is Louise Bourgeois and Australian Artists, an exhibition that showcases an array of artist’s works whom were influenced by the late legend. Del Kathryn Barton, multimedia and visual artist Janet Burchill, Pat Brassington, Brent Harris and photographer, sculpture Patricia Piccini are among some of the names represented.
