Ed Bechervaise, also known as Unwell Bunny, often begins his creative process with quick studies drawn from the vivid texture of lived experiences. These rough sketches are the guidelines for the natural shapes and loose forms that characterise his finished pieces. Inspired by the colourful world of possibilities that exist in both the real world and his subconscious, the Melbourne-based artist is eager to explore abstraction and imagination.
“I enjoy composition, the way colours fall into each other, and the way colour can create a feeling that isn’t formal,” he says. “Just by having certain colours sitting next to each other, it can create depth and understanding of greater spatial dynamics.”
