Rattus is a Canberra turned Sydney artist who's work started with painting but has since collected every medium encountered, in particular performance/installation to maximalise their shows. Inspired mainly by self run bad art competitions, erotica from the 70's to 80's and medieval art, their work has an often kitsch, pornographic and absurd presence. Rat's work tends to focus on the idea of shrines, altars and spaces of contemplation, and like Cockaigne, offer an installation of spaces containing personal utopias or the artists experiences.
