Mike Parr (born 1945) is an Australian performance artist and printmaker, born in Sydney. He is the brother of installation/photography artist, Julie Rrap (formerly Julie Brown-Rrap).
[edit] Works
His works include the recent 100 Breaths (2005) and Wall Definition. He was born with a mutilated arm, and this has affected his artmaking practice throughout his career. His works often centre on self-mutilation, challenging the audience, and the concept of memory and identity. Many of his works on paper are abstracted and he deals often in self-portraits. His work is displayed in galleries throughout Australia.
