Creating large-scale screen prints, Evan Pank’s practice stems from his travel and experiences as a football fan and interest in politics. His work explores the chaotic nature and visuals of football fandom and political protest, sport and politics often becoming one and the same. Pank was the winner of the Fremantle Arts Centre Print Award in 2017 with his work ‘Keeping the Bastards Honest’.

I am a Korean born Printmaker. My printmaking practice is mostly woodblock print, and calligraphic styles to represent my Asian heritage and the abstract expression to reflect contemporary influences. My work represents the human experience of seeking harmony and unity, exploring our connection with nature and the natural world, as well as exploring elements of human nature and interpersonal relationships.
I have had a number of group and duo shows and my two solo exhibitions (2016 & 2018) – the titles of the solo exhibitions were ‘Trails’ and ‘Moment seized me, I seized the moment’. My work has been recognised domestically and internationally.
Seong has been represented in the Fremantle Print Award each year for the last three years, and has been a Finalist in the Burnie Print Prize and Inkfest, Cairns.

My art explores the connections that surrounds human impact on islands. Since 2014 I have been investigating, with onsite research, small islands, World Heritage listed and isolated environments. Taking me to the Galapagos (Ecuador 2014), Faroe (the North Sea 2016) Lord Howe (NSW 2015) and Deception Islands (Antarctica 2017). Examining through immersive residencies as artist/tourist, traveller, observer, I look beyond the rhetoric to create artworks and installations that examine the impact of the Anthropocene and consumerism, on the Utopian destination. Through my interdisciplinary eco-critical vision creating a discourse via the traditions of printmedia, photography and drawing, to the new media of video, sound and installations.
Nina Juniper graduated in 2012 from Curtin University in Western Australia with a Bachelor of Humanities (Fine Art), majoring in Printmaking. Hailing from Perth, she has worked at the Fremantle Arts Centre, Perth Institute for Contemporary Art and as the Printmaking Technician at Curtin University before attaining her current position as the Printmaking Studio Technician at the National Art School, where she continues to expand her knowledge of printmaking. Nina’s art practice stems from an interest in the built environment and public spaces. Working predominately in the medium of screenprinting, her work explores architectural spaces, the public realm and spatial history through a variety of different local sites. Of particular interest in recent works are construction and deconstruction sites and their associated support structures. These structures, although temporal in nature, have now become a dominant visual part of the contemporary cityscape, at times providing a pleasing abstracted composition that characterises a new way of seeing and mapping the environment.
