Lorraine Simiana

Lorraine Simiana is a Sydney-based contemporary Australian artist whose practice explores identity, vulnerability, belonging and the tension between what is seen and what remains hidden. Painting is central to her practice, encompassing figurative, abstract and landscape-based works. Her work often considers psychological constraint, endurance and control, with figures at times appearing suspended, contained or entangled within net-like structures. Her wider practice also includes sound-based works that explore visibility, perception and the experience of being heard.
