Biography

Born: Sydney, Australia, 1992

Zander Clark is an emerging Australian Artist who paints as a way to try and understand the hard truths of our nations colonial history. His love for history and art come together in his oil paintings that focus on notions of both heroes and villains from Australia’s tumultuous past.

His artistic endeavours serve as a personal quest to reconcile the internal conflict stemming from his identity as a white Australian residing on indigenous land, while simultaneously expressing profound admiration for his homeland. 

Employing the wet-on-wet technique, Clark adeptly captures the essence of his subjects in a single session, infusing each brushstroke with a palpable energy and emotion that resonates within the canvas.
