VCA ART 2021

Alexander Eather

Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting)

I am originally from the north-west coast of Tasmania. My practice encompasses drawing, collage, painting and sculpture. Through these mediums, I explore political satire, humour, anxieties and self-medication. Inspired by abstract expressionism and German expressionism, fused with the sonic and aesthetic qualities of nu-metal, hardcore, grunge and Soundcloud rap, my work results in an angsty and cartoonish aesthetic.
