Linda Marrinon: Figure Sculpture 2005-2015 chronicles a decade of the Melbourne-based artist's prolific output in three-dimensional form, presenting an intimate survey of painted plaster and ceramic figures that draw on sources as varied as Ancient Greek kouros statues, Rococo portraiture, and the vernacular kitsch of mid-century popular culture. The works are at once playful and melancholic, their naïve surfaces belying a sophisticated engagement with the history of sculpture and representation.\n\nMarrinon's practice sits defiantly at the intersection of high art and folk tradition, and this catalogue richly illustrates how her figures — with their deliberately unresolved surfaces and ambiguous gazes — resist easy categorisation. Her work has been celebrated across major Australian institutions and international exhibitions, and this volume stands as an essential document of one of Australia's most distinctive sculptural voices. Whether encountered as an artist's monograph or a critical art-historical record, it leaves the reader asking what it truly means to render the human form in the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269340012763,"sku":"2026200014645-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/18b5c166-69ac-4a82-8389-989990cd76a7.png?v=1788998592","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014645-secondhand-linda-marrinon-figure-sculpture-2005-2015","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
