Untitled (Bladensburg National Park) | Thomas Thorby-Lister
Winner 2D - Painting / Drawing Award
Acrylic on Linen
Height: 102cm. Width: 76cm.
This painting focuses on an abstracted aerial view of the Bladensburg National Park, Queensland. Satellite imagery, HAP databases and generative mapping were used as reference for the composition. Inspired by mapping and the uncertainty of place, this work brings a unique perspective to the genre of landscape painting.
Thomas Thorby-Lister’s conceptually driven practice spans across painting, site-action, drawing, and digital media. Through abstraction, fieldwork, and site-specific projects, he examines the limitations of traditional representations of information. Thorby-Lister uses alternative methods to record and describe physical environments, both digital and analogue. Recent projects explore the concept of agency in making, the complexities of geography and cartography, and sites of environmental disasters.
