Roy Ananda: Permission Slip

26 April – 7 June 2008

Roy Ananda’s work Permission Slip is the most recent in a six-year-long series of sculptural constructions. Each work in the project uses the same materials, reinvented in response to the previous work and adapted to fit their environment. The works combine formal elements of high art with a humorous side of popular culture. Ananda’s larger-than-life sculptures are influenced by the exaggerated physicality of popular cartoons and movie personalities. Roy Ananda’s exhibition is supported by ArtsSA.

Roy Ananda lives and works in Adelaide. He has exhibited his work throughout Australia in art spaces including the Dianne Tanzer Gallery, Melbourne; Downtown Art Space, Adelaide; and The Project Space at the Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia. In 2005 he was included in Primavera at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney.
