Perpetual Bloom

This painting reimagines the garden as a cultivated and quietly infinite system. A field of luminous lime unfolds across the surface, structured by a precise grid of tangerine and blush squares that pulse rhythmically toward a warm blue centre. The eye is drawn inward, as though entering a space that both expands and contracts.

Layered translucent planes soften the geometry, allowing colour to hover and overlap. The repetition is deliberately meditative. Each square becomes an abstract floral unit, measured and contained. Together these elements generate a sense of movement and optical depth.

Balancing warmth and coolness, structure and atmosphere, the work sits at the intersection of hard-edge abstraction and contemplative minimalism.

Both vibrant and controlled, this piece brings energy and clarity to a space while maintaining a refined, architectural presence inspired by nature.

Ideal for collectors drawn to contemporary abstraction, geometric order, and works that reward sustained viewing.

Brad Holland is an Australian artist living and working on Kaurna land near Port Adelaide, South Australia. His work has been exhibited in solo and group shows across Australia, and in 2021 he was awarded the inaugural Founders Award for Large Statement Artworks in the Bluethumb Art Prize.

Drawing on personal history and long-held visual interests, Holland’s paintings explore a language shaped by 1970s and 1980s computer graphics, sci-fi visual effects, optical illusions, pop culture, and imagined inner landscapes. These influences are informed by over twenty years of experience working as a visual merchandiser for leading department stores, where spatial composition, colour, and visual impact were central concerns.

Originally working as a figurative painter, Holland shifted toward masking tape and hard-edge techniques in response to living with essential tremor, a degenerative neurological condition affecting hand stability. This transition became a defining aspect of his practice, allowing precision, control, and clarity to emerge through structure.

Today, his work is characterised by pulsating rectangles, transparent planes, concentric forms, and graphic patterns. Subtle transitions of tone and colour create immersive, meditative spaces that invite sustained attention and quiet contemplation.
