Ross Sinclair is an artist and musician and writer who also teaches. In 1994 Sinclair had the tattoo, Real Life, inked on his back and since then his work has taken the form of a simultaneous celebration and commiseration of the paradigm of The Real - from the inside out, and always in relation to a particular context and audience. He has described the ‘Real Life’ character he has utilised in many works since then like a character a writer would use in a series of books, appearing in different settings while remaining essentially the same through all the challenges and context of the different projects he has made. Sinclair employs many formal devices including performance and painting, installation and music, often all at the same time.


Is it done now or now? I don’t know. How should I? A monk may know. Religious people know when something is done because they are so still in their minds. Because they are so defined. Those guys are so wiped out because they follow rituals. Nobody follows rituals here in this studio, that’s why I don’t know when something is done.
