Max Dingle - Artist
|
In my work I have at the back of my mind various memories, beliefs, rituals, poetry, stories and myths; ranging from Spanish poet Fredrico García Lorca to memories of Greek myths and films I read and seen in my youth. These inform the art expressed in collage, paint, steel and performance.
The above provides a mindset or a framework, in an effort to give the works enough in common to hang together as exhibition performance or installation. At a fundamental level my art is ultimately influenced by a number of other factors, these include contemporary dance, such as Melbourne's Chunky Move, Adelaide's Australian Dance Theatre and the Sydney Dance Company, the art of others that I have been exposed to, especially the artists whose works are on the walls of my home, the art I live with every day. By the landscape and environment I live in, the bush and garden at my south coast home. New Works in 2023 |
