Liam is a Brisbane-based artist regularly exhibiting locally. His work may be understood as an exploration of self-awareness through mediums painting and drawing. As such, instead of thinking only what the painting is ‘about,’ it moves to the idea of what the painting ‘does’ as a means for self-discovery and transformation. His visual formalities and subjectivities attempt to provoke deeper understandings and feelings of himself as well that of the viewer through an intuitive response to his work.
Liam’s choice of a limited colour palate and seemingly banal subject matter enables a greater clarity to his current on going body of work centering the unassuming kitchen knife. Maximizing the use of his small home studio his work reflects the intimacy of his working space.
Graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Art Degree from Queensland Collage of Art, Griffith University, in 2017 Liam was awarded the QAGOMA bookstore prize of “Best presentation at graduation.” Following graduation he has continued with a mentorship under Jan Murphy Gallery.
