VCA ART 2020

Brock Q. Piper

Graduate Certificate of Visual Art

I take an anthropological approach to my compositions. My work reflects the mythology and the mythos of travel and the people that are intertwined within my artist’s journey.

My works are as much about the viewer as they are the historical and cultural narratives woven into the work; an outsider’s observations of cultural ambiguity and the mythological landscapes that invite you in to the world I travel through. Surreal abstractions of memory and the role of travel in my multidisciplinary artist practice.

I use very thin layers of oil paint to create images that allude to a sense of both creation and destruction. An aesthetic that plays with illuminating and obscuring elements hidden within; layers are eroding as they are being replaced.

My work employs a deep understanding of colour theory and oil glazing techniques as the work evolves to reveal hidden elements, only visible throughout the changing light of the day.
