Piccinini
Picinini explores the relationship between humanity, technology and nature by challenging her viewers in an imaginative yet realistic manner. In order to create her art Picinini goes through several main processes: first the design, production and then the creation of her work. The early stages of Picinini's work, can be seen in her conventional use of pencil and paper in 'Hector (on carpet)' where her focus on detail is evident. The translation of such detail into 3D is exemplified in "lattice 2000", where the use of synthetic materials such as plastic is purely for the purpose of mimicking 'reality'. Piccinini's art is therefore made to 'shape' reality; her pieces are usually of near to real life size. The production of Picinini's work thus involves detailed dialogue between Picinini as a client to her sculptors. What is then created by Piccinini and is a combination of the efforts of various people.
Nolan
Traditional materials and medium are used by Nolan in an unconventional manner to create distorted and even naive art. The 'Kelly' series by Nolan incorporates this very approach and is clearly of conceptual relevance. While oils are used in the traditional way, with the use of a lean then fat layer, how they are applied is unique. Each brushstroke is almost violently slapped on with a paint brush to effectively blur the boundary between nature and man, or in this case, Ned Kelly and the land. This method repeats through out the series to create images that represent Ned Kelly as the Australian bush icon.
