'The Ordinary Sublime'
A celebration of everyday life but finding the extraordinary in the ordinary.
Art that puts everyday life into perspective. Narrative works about people, their environments and how they interact. Ordinary occurrences can have extraordinary impacts on who we are.
About Kimbaross
Born and raised on a farm in north eastern Victoria and moved to Melbourne for an education of sorts. I am a visual artist who primarily paints and draws. Mild mannered public servant most days, volunteer firefighter and army reservist on others.
I am fascinated by people and places and how they interact with each other. My works celebrate the everyday mundane.
The things that we do, the interactions or connections we have every day. Taken for granted and given little thought, these events have a cumulative affect on our very being. Sometimes they harden us but more often over time they hopefully soften us.
My art gives thanks to all the fortunate things in my life, sometimes sweet sorrow or bittersweet joy but never melancholy or regret.
Very much trying my best to give back to my community for years it has consistently and quietly nurtured me. Hopefully my art is an extension of this and gives others comfort, it does for me.
