Contemporary Australian artist Paul Yore works across installation, sound, video, collage, assemblage and textiles to create works that emerge distinctly from his own visual world. With a practice that brings together narratives of kitsch Australiana, sexually and politically charged imagery, and reference to popular culture, Yore creates works that are unapologetically personal, and highly responsive to the world around him.

In ‘Vaccinophobia’, Yore constructs a textile-based work from mixed media and embroidery. Using deliberately provocative imagery, Yore presents a work that is both kitsch and politically-charged. Through much of his work, Yore examines the idea of truth and opinion in post-internet popular culture. In ‘Vaccinophobia’, he targets his sights on anti-vaccination movements and medical conspiracy theorists - a topic that has gained even more relevance in the post-COVID-19 landscape.

Yore has exhibited in many major institutions across Australia and internationally, and his work is held in numerous private and public collections, including the Art Gallery of South Australia, National Gallery of Victoria and the Heide Museum of Modern Art. In 2022, he was the subject of a survey exhibition ‘Paul Yore: WORLD MADE FLESH’ at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art in Melbourne. For collectors of cutting-edge contemporary art, or those fascinated by artists who push the boundaries, Yore’s work is an intriguing discovery.
