Simon Zoric is a Melbourne/Naarm based visual artist whose practice spans installation, sculpture, drawing, text, and video. Zoric’s works are known for their humour and sharp satire, often targeting contemporary art, institutions, and contradictions within modern life. Blending the high and low of contemporary culture, Zoric’s work is both crude and disruptive, critiquing societal norms and the history of art. By matter-of-factly presenting the literal, Zoric subverts assumptions, power structures, and archetypes, exposing the anxieties embedded in contemporary culture.

Exhibiting widely across Australia, Zoric has had solo and group exhibitions at LON Gallery, Spring 1883, the Fiona and Sidney Myer Gallery, Deakin University, Melbourne Art Fair, the National Gallery of Victoria, Disneyland Paris, Gertrude Contemporary, West Space and White Columns in New York and Galerie PCP in Paris. He has been the recipient of a New Work Grant from the Australia Council For the Arts, the John D and Susan P Diekman Fellowship, an Ian Potter Cultural Trust Grant, the Australia Council Artstart Grant and two awards from The National Gallery of Victoria’s Trustees. Zoric has a Master of Fine Art from the Victorian College of the Arts and has undertaken residencies at the Djerassi Resident Artists Program (USA), Sim Residency (Iceland) and Gertrude Contemporary (Australia).
