ABOUT THE ARTIST
Annette Bezor is one of Australia's most respected and successful artists. Over many years, her work has changed and developed, though it has always been of immense conceptual and technical strength. She has been principally a painter - exclusively so in recent years. Her painting has addressed female sexuality, the politics of gender, the use of symbols and the symbolic power of the image. In her current work she draws together many themes, especially the iconisation of images and of the subjects they represent.
