Bill Lane
Bill Lane was born Melbourne 1962. He was a finalist in the Felix H Mann Memorial Prize (1992 NGV). His work was acquired through the Hugh Williamson bequest for “Sites of the Imagination” (1992 NGV). In 1996 “Shades” was included in ACCA’s “The Object of Existence” and in Chris McAuliffe's book "Art and Suburbia" (Craftsman House,1996). His work is characterized by chaotic compositions made up of unexpected objects. Each hinting at the mythic and symbolic potential dormant within the most surprisingly banal objects. By embracing the tension between control and disorder he thereby navigates the uncanny terrain where the creepy and the mythic coexist.
