Consumed by a multitude of thoughts, ideas and interactions at any split second, we take for granted the enormous task our brains perform at any given moment. Likened to the canary that was once carried through the mines, my meditation practise has become that bird that guides instinctively and relieves me from daily stresses. This basic task of mindfulness has been passed down thousands of years in Vedic traditions and has transformed my life entirely for the better.

Sydney-based abstract artist, Brett Anthony Moore delves into the realms of colour, unpredictability, and post-modern expression. The subconscious flow of nature and its intertwining rhythms support the undercurrent of Brett's work in form though it's the conversation between nature and our place within modernity that becomes the primary focus of his work within Abstraction.

In retaining this information, life experiences and a love of the ocean, he can tap into the fluidity it provides. The process of translating this knowledge becomes the playground for the emotional ride of painting, a medium that in turn takes on its own metamorphosis into sculptural forms.

Brett primarily works with acrylics, generating "paint skins" in his studio through a process of exploration and blending a carefully chosen colour palette. Following this, Brett engages with the resulting piece, considering its shape and form, creating his final sculptural work.

Quite often a sense of the spiritual sparks the vitality to pour, spread and render the medium fusing colours and form to settle and dry before each composition. By relinquishing control of any defined outcome both the work and the process become an antenna to a greater knowledge in its abstract form.

Majoring in painting, Brett graduated from the National Art School in 2021 and has gone on to show at Sydney Contemporary, Waverly Art Prize, The National Emerging Art Prize, Sculptures in the Garden and Gosford Regional Art Prize. Brett has also exhibited in group and solo shows in both Australia and Europe.
