Aidan Weichard is a Gippsland-based artist whose creative process is ever-evolving, with the constant being his depiction of native Australian flora and fauna. This subject matter is symbolic of Aidan’s affection of the Australian landscape.
“Vitality and vigor are at the centre of each of my works. I aim to induce a feel of brightness and levity, with my style heightening the playfulness found in cockatoos, the power of a bull or the vibrancy of fresh gum leaves. High colours are purposefully used to emphasise the character, persona and emotion of my subject matters. The intentionally-dramatic brushstrokes imbue my subject matter with a dynamism that is at once powerful and compelling. Combining bright colours with layered mixed media such as spray paint, enamel, oil paint on varied mediums, my bold technique belies the intentionality of my process.”
