NINA PRYDE (B. 1945)

Born in Hong Kong, Nina Pryde received a master’s degree in fine arts from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 2007. Her landscape painting is semi-abstract, characterised by broad, vigorous splashes of ink and colour. Energy seamlessly incorporates collage of photographs taken by Pryde, resulting in humorous imageries that waver between two- and three-dimensionality, appearing at once real and illusory. Often presented in a large multi-panel format, Pryde’s works offer a strong visual impact.
