BRAD GUNN
布拉德·冈恩
Brad Gunn 是一位墨尔本雕塑家,他擅长使用各种当代材料和传统技术进行创作。他的背景包括漫画插图,并受到科幻小说、抽象艺术、时尚和文艺复兴时期的影响,其创作实践逐渐演变成今天的风格。他专注于人物作品,通过其超凡脱俗的造型和神秘莫测的存在,呈现出对已知世界的独特反思。每件作品都承载着无数未曾讲述的故事和未曾言明的神话。
这些生物散发出古老的传说,捕捉了既熟悉又陌生的本质。在创作这些奇幻生物时,我试图探索变形和认同的主题。它们的混合性质——一部分是动物,一部分是人类,一部分纯粹是想象——体现了我们自身流动的本性,不断演变且多面。通过它们,我深入探讨了美与怪诞、力量与脆弱、秩序与混沌并置的议题。
造型、纹理和色彩将抽象转化为具象。“我的创作过程是直觉和意图之间的舞蹈,每一个细节都融入了运动和象征意义。这些生物是意识和潜意识之间的对话。”
Brad 于 2005 年在维多利亚艺术学院完成雕塑和空间实践学士学位,并在柏林短暂的创作休假后,在墨尔本成为一名创作者和艺术家。他在电影和电视行业工作后,以及为 Nike、Mimco、维多利亚博物馆和 Marais 等公司创作道具和展示品后,提升了他的制作技能。
作品本身是高度过程驱动的,涉及油泥雕塑、硅胶和玻璃纤维模具以及树脂和水泥铸造。作品或是手绘,或是涂有天鹅绒纤维。每件作品可能需要数月才能完成,每个系列都深入探讨了一个反映当下瞬间的新主题。
Brad 曾入选 Flinders Lane 画廊的“探索”群展、北悉尼艺术奖、温德姆艺术奖和渔夫幽灵艺术奖。Brad 的作品“茄子人人爱”在 2024 年迪肯当代小型雕塑奖中荣获一等奖。Brad 的个展“神与怪兽”目前正在 Compendium 画廊展出。

Brad Gunn: A Melbourne Sculptor's Singular Vision
Brad Gunn is a Melbourne-based sculptor whose collectable objects sit somewhere between fine art and design. Working in oil clay, silicone and fibreglass moulds, and casts of resin and cement, he builds each piece by hand before finishing it in painted or velvet-flocked surfaces. The result is tactile, characterful and quietly subversive, with every work treated as a one-of-a-kind study rather than a mass-produced product. It is this devotion to process that has earned his sculptures a following among collectors of contemporary Australian art.
The Brad Gunn Artist Series at MARAIS
As part of our ongoing Artist Series, MARAIS presents a curated edit of Brad Gunn's sculptural pieces alongside our designer fashion and accessories. Each object is produced in limited numbers and finished by hand, so no two are precisely alike. From velvet-soft surfaces to richly pigmented resin, the collection rewards a closer look, bringing a sense of play and craft to considered interiors. For collectors who appreciate provenance, sourcing directly from a trusted luxury retailer ensures each work arrives exactly as the artist intended.
Sculpture as Wearable, Liveable Art
Gunn's practice blurs the line between object and ornament. A single piece can anchor a room the way a statement accessory completes an outfit, lending personality and a point of conversation. His sculptures favour bold form and unexpected texture over decoration for its own sake, which is why they sit so naturally within a fashion-led edit. Each work reflects a moment in the artist's thinking, made to be lived with rather than simply admired from a distance.
