Simone Eisler is a Brisbane based artist whose diverse sculptural practice interrogates relationships between Nature and Culture. Her work explores notions of evolution and the interdependence of life and death on all living things.
Through the juxtaposition of seemingly disparate but familiar objects and unusual materials – and via intertwining processes of painting, drawing, video, performance and sound – Simone creates mystical installations that evoke transformative worlds in which anything is possible.
Her interdisciplinary practice draws upon themes of mythology, hybridism and biomorphism as a means of conveying a cautionary message that our increasing disconnection with Nature has environmental and evolutionary consequences.
Simone has exhibited her work internationally in the Philippines, Indonesia, New York, Belgium and Paris and within Australia. In 2009 she is creating a new installation for the Arc Biennial of Art. During the last eight years she has received several commissions from private, local Council and State Government clients to respond to a variety of indoor gallery and site-specific outdoor environments. Significant public commissions across Queensland include 175 Eagle Street, Prince Charles Hospital, Rocks Riverside Park, Sandgate Foreshore Parklands and Federation Park, Toowoomba.
