‘Rim Shot’, 2009 (DVD 4:34 mins & Drum kit)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 working with a more performative and sculptural manner predominantly focused on the drum kit.
Her growing understanding of its role and language within the context of art has seen it feature heavily in and around her work and often is disempowered or destroyed. Laurens concerns are the artistic crossovers of rock’n’roll and painting, each constantly being referred to as dead, and each constantly being reinvented. The style and attitude of the each form of art and its figureheads also fuels the fascination in the motivation and impact that each has had on society and history respectively. 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. Lauren has exhibited in Melbourne and recently in Adelaide as well as extensively in her native Sydney. In 2008 she won the Mosman Westpac art prize.
