The Gospel According to St Mark

Religion can be thought of as a fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a group of people.
In 2017 Angie Thurston and Casper de Kuile published their “How we Gather”.
They claimed that “Millennials are less religiously affiliated than ever before”. This doesn’t mean they don’t believe in a God, but that they are looking for a “faith community” rather than an institution with “religious creed as the threshold”. My work asks the viewer to consider the future of “religion”. Will conventional religions intertwine with social networks and technologies to form new faith partnerships or……….?

I have been a member of the Eramboo Artist Environment in the northern suburbs of Sydney since 2019.
Primarily using acrylic and mixed media, Ross works mainly with Geometric and Landscape Abstractions as well as creating Social Messaging artworks. I look to re-express both mundane and complex concepts and create images that will have viewers linger, explore and debate.
I am curious and take artistic risk, often experimenting with non-traditional materials and methods. I use both acrylic and enamel with the latter sometimes in spray form. I intertwine pen, ink and pencil where this adds detail, clarity or another layer for viewer speculation. I work on canvas, board and different types of paper and usually work on 3 or 4 pieces at the same time.
