LAUREN BRINCAT
artist

Lauren Brincat was born and bred in the suburbs of Sydney. In 2004, she graduated with First Class Honours from Sydney College of the Arts in Painting, and received Her Masters in 2006. Currently she is working with a performative and
sculptural practice predominantly focused on the drum kit.

Her growing understanding of its significance, role and language within the context of art has seen it feature heavily in and around her work. Lauren frequently destroys and dis-empowers this rock music icon. The artists concerns are the artistic crossovers of rock’n’roll and painting, each constantly being referred to as dead, each constantly being reinvented.

Lauren currently lives and works in the Inner West of Sydney, she has featured in the Helen Lempriere Travelling Art Scholarship exhibition in 2005, 2006 and 2007. In 2008 she won the Mosman Westpac art prize.
