Jacqui Stockdale (born 1968) is an Australian contemporary artist renowned for her distinctive exploration of theatrical portraiture, mortality, folklore and masquerade, crossing boundaries between painting, photography, drawing, collage and performance.[1] [2] Stockdale has long worked at the crossroads of unpacking dominant Australian narratives, re-examining the myth of the Kelly Gang, colonisation, feminism and Indigenous rights. [3] [4] She explores the enigma that is the diversity of humanity in works that mask and unmask our cultural mores, belief systems, superstitions, rituals, identity and means of belonging.[5] Stockdale has exhibited widely throughout Australia and internationally and her works are held in major galleries in Australia and around the world. In 2012, she won the Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize. [6] In 2014, her work featured in different exhibitions at the Louvre, Paris, and Museum Villa Rot, Germany. [7]

Stockdale lives and works in Narrm/Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
