Hugo Michell Gallery welcomes the addition of Paul Yore to our represented artists!
Paul Yore completed his studies in painting, archaeology, and anthropology at Monash University in 2010, and has since taken up full-time work as an art practitioner. His multidisciplinary practice involves installations, painting, sculpture, sound, drawing and textiles. Yore draws on the traditions of classical Greek art, decorative Flemish and French tapestries, trashy pop-culture, gay porn, cartoons, psychedelia, and the frenzied excesses of rococo style.
Yore has undertaken residencies nationally and internationally at Artspace, Sydney (2014), Seoul Artspace Geumcheon, South Korea (2013-14), and Gertrude Contemporary Artspaces, Melbourne (2011-2013).
Selected group and solo exhibitions include: mad love, A3 Arnt Art Agency, Berlin (2017); Paul Yore NADA, Miami (2016); The Public Body .01, Artspace, Sydney (2016); Soft Core, Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, Casula (2016); Primavera Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney (2014); Melbourne Now, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne (2013); Here There and Everywhere, Seoul Art Space Geumcheon, (2013), and Poetry, Dream and the Cosmos: The Heide Collection, Heide Museum of Modern Art, Melbourne (2013).
Yore’s work is represented in both private and public collections internationally and throughout Australia including Artbank, The Heide Museum of Modern Art, Si Shang Art Museum Beijing, and the Art Gallery of Ballarat, amongst others. Yore has been awarded several awards and grants, including an Australia Council Arts Project Grant (2015), a Marten Bequest Travelling scholarship (2015-2016), and the Wangarratta Acquisitive Textile Prize (2013).
We congratulate Paul on all of his achievements, and are thrilled to be working together in the future!
