About the Artist

Jennifer Allnutt is an artist based in Brisbane, Australia. She graduated from the University of South Australia with a Bachelor of Visual Arts (First Class Honours) in 2011 and a Master of Teaching in 2016. She has been a finalist in the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize (2024) and was the winner of the Lethbridge Small Scale Art Award in 2024. Her work has been exhibited around Australia, the US and New Zealand.

“Distintegration”: Jennifer’s surreal Horse bust portrait combines all things individually beautiful, yet the amalgamation is overgrown, globular and essentially grotesque. It is this interplay between the dualities, such as the beautiful and the grotesque, that enhances the uncanny.
