Sam Hardy

I am bad at the painting thing, so I’ve turned to the medium of using digital objects which are then manipulated into brick creations and presented in a photorealistic form as digital prints.

These creations reflect my observations of people, places and objects, many drawn from items from the queer scene but also dashes of Australiana that aim to explore a sense of identity, augmenting them with a quirky twist.

I also try to inject a dose of humour and irony into their staging while utilising bold colours so it can be seen across the gallery floor, or from across the street.
