Biography
Bianca Beetson of the Kabi Kabi people of the Sunshine Coast was born in 1973. Her work is instantly recognizable as she always uses the colour pink. She is a former member of the Campfire and ProppaNOW artists groups, both based in Brisbane. She has shown her work in a number of exhibitions including the '2nd Asia Pacific Triennal’ at the Queensland Art Gallery in 1996/1997, 'Black Humour’ at the Canberra Contemporary Art Space in 1997 as well as the 2001 exhibition “Gatherings Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art From Queensland Australia” in Brisbane. In the 'Gatherings’ accompanying catalogue she states that she likes “to use humour in my work … the ability to laugh at ourselves and to laugh at the times we find ourselves in, an overall sense of the ridiculous and the absurd … I see it as a necessary tool for survival and self determination … a spoonful of sugar helps the metaphor go down.” This entry is a stub.
