Artwork Description

This works represents the early morning feeling of the day heating up during an extended dry season prior to the wet season build up. It expresses the knowledge of what the oncoming of the day will feel like. The ovular shapes may represent the rising and setting celestial bodies and the horizon the summer heat obliterates.

Justin Bishop was born in Newcastle in 1975 and graduated USQ Toowoomba c.2000. He worked in the Arts sector in Queensland as an artist and arts worker holding positions of Director of Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery, Exhibitions Manager of Cairns Art Gallery and Director of KickArts Contemporary Arts (now Northsite).

While based in Cairns, Justin played in bands, organised gigs, recordings and tours. During the pandemic he moved into working in the signage industry. Its materials and concepts of developing and displaying an image opened new pathways for his practice.

Justin considers himself a returning artist, that is returning to feeling confident to exhibit again and make meaning by making artwork.

He currently lives and work on Gurambilbarra Country (Townsville) and maintain an arts practice across multiple disciplines.
