Abstract

Following on from the huge success of Sam Jinks' Woman and Child in 2010, Sam Jinks: Body in Time is the first retrospective exhibition of one of Australia's most talented young artists. This survey will fill the entire ground floor of SAM and showcase a selection of artworks that fit within an aesthetic of ‘real sculpture': silicone-based objects that immaculately replicate human form and features. As well as iconic works such as Still Life (Pieta) 2007 and Woman and Child 2010, Body in Time will bring together older sculptures that trace the development of Jinks' artistic practice over the past five years, along with a number of new sculptures to be exhibited for the first time.
