Lisa Tomasetti - Photgrapher / Visual Artist
In addition to her visual arts practice, over the past eleven years Tomasetti has been a Film and Television Stills photographer. Her achievements include Star Wars Episode Two, Bad Boy Bubby, Dirty Deeds, Dead Heart, Shine, Kath & Kim and Charlotte’s Web.
Tomasetti’s work employs a series of textures and compositional elements that are familiar with Old Master and Victorian paintings except she presents the subjects in a contemporary manner. Tomasetti explores how women were represented in history and then challenges the tradition by substituting the more privileged, white middle-class sitter with women and children from different cultures in order to create a different sense of history and story. The new subject now takes centre stage in intensely lit and coloured portraits to generate questions concerning race, the sensitive topic of colonization, class and memory.
