CUT & PASTE

Maryanne Wick draws attention to the incidental but often poignant moments we miss in our hectic day to day lives. Through painting, drawing and creating visual diaries, Wick’s subject matter focuses primarily on metaphorical figurative and still life composition, to convey ‘a sense of place’ in quiet, unassuming ways. She has been described by art critic John McDonald (Sydney Morning Herald, 16 February 2008) as ‘an emerging painter with a subtle, distinctive touch’.

Born in Sydney, Wick has lived and worked in London, Beijing, Seoul and Hong Kong. She is a tutor in drawing and painting through the National Art School in Sydney, from which she graduated in painting in 2001. In the same year, she was a finalist in the Sulman Prize Exhibition and left Sydney to live in South Korea. Wick spent the next five years living in Asia and this experience was invaluable to her development as an artist. It provided the opportunity and time to focus on her own practice while being immersed in the art and culture of North Asia. She explored a variety of media and surface and was introduced to the many customs, traditions, beliefs and stories which influence her work today.

As an artist, Wick continues to explore ways of marrying her Australian heritage with her acquired North Asian sensibilities. In conjunction with artist residencies in Beijing, Spain and Chicago, the Bundanon Trust (Nowra, NSW) and at Newington Armory (Sydney Olympic Park), her work has been exhibited in numerous exhibitions in both Australia and South Korea.
