Damian Moppett’s artistic practice uses a wide variety of media to question existing notions of mastery, craftsmanship and value. Drawing on broad references from the history of modern art, Moppett uses the mediums of sculpture, painting, photography, drawing and video, often in relationship to each other, as a meditation on the activity of making art. Much of Moppett’s recent work blurs the boundaries between mediums in an effort to force, for example, sculpture to act more like a two-dimensional painting or visa versa. The role of tradition in art is questioned while historical precedents are exposed, played with and enveloped in the gestures that evolve out of a studio practice.
