Roy Ananda
Roy Ananda is a visual artist, writer, and educator practicing on Kaurna Country (Tarndanya/Adelaide Plains). His objects, drawings, installations, texts, and videos variously celebrate popular culture, play, process, and the very act of making. Since 2001 he has exhibited prolifically around Australia and since 2004 has lectured in drawing and sculpture at Adelaide Central School of Art. Ananda’s solo projects have included A is for Anvil (2006) at West Space (Melbourne), The Devourer (2013) at the Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia, and Slow crawl into infinity (2014) at the Samstag Museum of Art (Adelaide). His work has been included in such significant survey exhibitions as Primavera (2004) at the Museum of Contemporary Art (Sydney), the Australian Drawing Biennial (2004) at the Drill Hall Gallery (Canberra), and the 2018 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Divided Worlds at the Art Gallery of South Australia (Adelaide). In 2017, Ananda completed a post-graduate research degree at the University of South Australia with a specific focus on the intersection of pop-culture fandom and contemporary art practice. He was the subject of the 2021 South Australian Living Artist Publication, published by Wakefield Press.
