Ingmar Apinis is a Naarm/Melbourne, Australia based artist who has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions at a number of galleries including C3 Contemporary Art Space, Rubicon ARI, Kings ARI, Artereal Gallery, and Linden New Art.
Ingmar’s creative practice explores the role of the internet in everyday life. Working in a range of mediums including paint, screen printing, plaster and water transfer printing (an industrial production process also known as hydro-dipping) Ingmar’s work poses questions about online subcultures, digital queerness, future histories, and representations of the virtual and physical body.
In 2020 Ingmar was awarded the Ursula Hoff Printmaking Award.
