By using the methodologies of physical expression\, spontaneity\, gesture\, embodiment\, flow states and intuitive mark making\, his art captures the ever-changing states of being that are common to us all and also regarding experiencing a mental health issue. These states are expressed through free drawing\, and abstract painting and sculpture. While it is challenging to experience a mental health issue\, the relationship between his mental health issue and creative practices is considered to be a positive one\, forming as a necessary catharsis. \nHis artworks seek to represent elements on the continuum of human subjectivity to create a commonality between himself as an artist\, and the viewer\, forming into shared emotional experiences. He expresses what he is feeling via the artwork\, and this in turn resonates beyond the act of making as the artwork becomes a discursive object. Each of his pieces reflect specific states of being\, conveying basic human emotions. \nA flow state of mind is critical to achieving this. Ned has to focus intently on the task at hand to the point where he forgets himself and becomes lost in the making. His mind is occupied in the creative act where he is entirely present to himself and not the external world. This enables him to enter into a state of creativity where he is connected to himself without external or internal voices\, where he is in a state of wholeness and affirmation. \nSo\, he seeks to function with as little language as possible. This includes internal dialogues. This allows his state of being to be represented without distraction. Where the nonverbal creates a safe and productive space for him.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″][vc_column_text css=””]Ned Brook is an artist early in his career\, having his first group show at SOL Gallery in Melbourne recently. Ned has recently completed a Master of Fine Art at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology\, and has completed studies in creative writing\, media\, politics\, and economics as part of a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Melbourne. As well continuing studies in a Graduate Certificate in Bushfire Planning and Management also at the University of Melbourne. Ned lives on Dja Dja Wurrung\, Taungurung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung country in central regional Victoria and has extensive experience in land management and farming as well bushfire firefighting. He has his first solo show at fortyfivedownstairs gallery (this exhibition) in January 2025.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Events” tab_id=”1734410476765-3118c16f-d688″][vc_column_text css=””]Opening night \nTuesday 21 January\, 5-7pm[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Divergent archetypes for old ideas

With research as photographer\, and subject\, and in collaboration with my queer and ‘othered’ community they actively queer and playfully weaponise: creative space for oppositional action; communal play; individual agency; self-expression; gender performativity; and the erotic. In deconstructing\, rearranging\, recontextualising and appropriating binary archetypes and narratives\, this collection enables the empowerment of individuals and communities alike\, and in doing so\, inspires those who have felt shame\, to make a stand\, for themselves\, and those they love.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″][vc_column_text css=””]Brent Leideritz is an independent Adelaide-based photographer who’s photographic practice originated with film during their self-taught and experimental formative period in the mid to late 90s and early 00s. Their practice has developed into digital mediums\, utilising digital post-production and more recently exploring ai-generated promptographic resolutions. They continue to expand on themes and subject matter seeded in their formative years. Brent continues to interrogate identity\, producing works that seek to question how an identity is formed and how identity is oppressed or liberated through family\, cultural structures\, kin and communities. \nBrent Leideritz’s portrait photography is centred in creatively capturing the moment of collaboration between photographer and individual. In most instances\, these moments coalesce into larger photographic series that explore themes such as: identity formation and politics; the human condition and connectivity; resistance of oppressive structures; cultural agitation for positive discourse and challenging religious and societal norms. Their practice interrogates and challenges normative ways of being\, providing a space to those that are ‘other’ to be seen and heard. Developing their practice from within ‘othered’ communities as a neurovariant\, queer\, goth\, freak\, Brent gives space for playful opposition\, collaboration\, gender queering and representation. This creates space for communal deconstruction and reconstruction of the symbolism\, myth and narratives that exist within normative and conservative society. Brent’s work creates an ever-unfolding set of questions for viewers to explore\, and in doing so\, asks those who see the resultant photographic artworks to consider a viewpoint that may differ from their own\, as a way to move beyond dated binaries of the past. \nArtist’s website: b. | brent leideritz [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Events” tab_id=”1734410378355-3887b156-f2b4″][vc_column_text css=””]Opening night \nTuesday 21 January\, 5-7pm[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Exhibition Exegesis” color=”danger” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Ffortyfivedownstairs.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F12%2FBrent_Leideritz_Divergent_archetypes_for_old_ideas_exegesis_REPOSITORY.pdf”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
