Linda Marrinon: Woman in jumpsuit

Art Makers x National Gallery

Linda Marrinon, Woman in jumpsuit, 2022, National Gallery of Australia, Kamberri/Canberra, Commissioned with the generous support of Art Makers. Image courtesy of Linda Marrinon and Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery.


The first in the Art Makers commission series, Linda Marrinon’s Woman in jumpsuit will be installed in the National Gallery Sculpture Garden from September 2022 – September 2023.

Marrinon, a Naarm/Melbourne based artist, has a career spanning several decades. Informed by wit, feminism, and a deep engagement with art history, Marrinon combines classical poses with popular culture references, in this case by dressing a woman in a jumpsuit.

Woman in jumpsuit is among Marrinon’s most significant works to date. Standing at over three metres tall, the sculpture is an intriguing and commanding presence beside the shore of Lake Burley Griffin. The work is cast in coloured bronze, with hand painted additions, to emulate Marrinon’s characteristic medium of delicate painted plaster.

This commission is possible through the generous support of Art Makers.
