Lisa Roet is an acclaimed Australian artist renowned for her compelling explorations of the human-primate connection.Her multidisciplinary practice encompasses sculpture, drawing, photography, and video, often focusing on apes and monkeys as mirrors reflecting human identity and environmental concerns. Roet's work delves into themes of evolution, communication, and the ethical implications of our relationship with other primates. She has conducted extensive research through residencies at international zoos and field studies in Borneo, collaborating with primatologists, geneticists, and zoologists to inform her art. Her notable works include large-scale inflatable sculptures such as Skywalker and Golden Monkey, which have been featured in major art events globally. Roet's contributions to contemporary art have been recognised in publications like Australian Art Collector’s 50 Most Collectible Artists and the monograph Lisa Roet: Uncommon Observations
