Sophie Victoria is an Australian multidisciplinary artist residing in Eora/Sydney.
Sophie process derives from an insatiable curiosity for understanding and comprehending her outer and inner world. Sophie’s current practice explores the materiality of light and human experience. Using materials that play with light, she produces theatrical, immersive and visually arresting works that bring an ineffable, sensory experience. Victoria’s practice comments on a primal connection that humans have towards light and dark materials and contextualises it in the contemporary space. Where luminescent objects like screens increasingly invade, homogenise and agent our procession through time and space; arguably, as they always have.
Sophie has a background in Advertising working as an Art Director before completing a BFA in Painting at the National Art School in 2021. She currently undertaking study at the National Art School to complete her MFA in Drawing. She has recently been selected as a finalist in the Sir John Sulman Prize for 2022 as a part of the Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prize exhibition at the AGNSW. She has also recently curated and participated in group exhibitions such as ‘Germ’ at the LSG and The Grad Show 21’ at NAS, and has an upcoming Solo Show at The Sketch Collective Gallery in 2022.
