PARADOX 2006

Tweed Regional Gallery

Daniel Brinsmead, an Australian regional contemporary artist, explores the Paradox of personal politics, social interaction and cultural construct through the process of painting. A situation or event leads him to ask the question ‘why?’. He deconstructs his perceptions, pulls them apart to tease out the elements; then uses his own experience and broader cultural cues to explore the dynamics of the situation at hand. This artistic investigation leads to the construction of his own visual code or language, enabling him to reach a fuller understanding of himself and the world.
