An exploration in colour and texture.

Born in Christchurch, New Zealand, and now based in Melbourne, Damon Puddy is an abstract artist whose work is driven by instinct, colour, texture and a fascination with what exists beneath the surface of the everyday.

His practice has been shaped by a lifelong relationship with painting, alongside experiences working with and observing Indigenous artists in Australia - an influence that deepened his appreciation for storytelling, symbolism and the power of visual language.

Working intuitively, Damon allows each piece to develop without a predetermined outcome. Layers of colour, texture and movement build into abstract forms that invite the viewer to find their own meaning.

His recent body of work, Abstract Mechanism, brings together abstraction, impressionistic colour and science-fiction-inspired imagery, accompanied by original prose that expands the world surrounding each piece.
