Paul Yore is a contemporary Australian artist who playfully but unapologetically re-centres radical and emancipatory queer expression against the backdrop of neoliberalism and the material excesses of capitalism. Yore’s work engages with the histories of religious art and ritual, queer identity, pop-culture and neo-liberal capitalism. He recasts a vast array of found images, materials and texts into sexually and politically loaded tableaux and sculptural assemblages which celebrate hybrid and fluid identities, unstable and contradictory meanings, and the glowing horizon of queer worldmaking.
