Catherine Bell

Catherine Bell is a multidisciplinary artist whose work—predominantly autobiographical—ranges from drawing and sculpture to performance and video documentation. In 1994, after graduating from the Queensland University of Technology, she was awarded the Melville Haysom residency at the Queensland Art Gallery; in 2000/01, she undertook a research fellowship at the Ruskin School of Fine Art, Oxford University; and in 2010 she was awarded a prestigious three-month residency in New York by the Australia Council for the Arts. Catherine has shown in group exhibitions both in Australia and overseas—including True Crime: Murder and Misdemeanour in Australian Art at Geelong Gallery (2008), The Animal Gaze at Exeter’s Centre for Contemporary Art as well as Plymouth City Museum (2008-09), and Backflip: Feminism and Humour in Contemporary Art at VCA’s Margaret Lawrence Gallery (2013). Catherine is represented by Sutton Gallery, Melbourne.
