About
“My artworks are shaped by an intuitive, introspective diarist approach, inquiring into the human psyche. Centered around personal growth of the spiritual self, subjects of light and dark flow through my practice; a reflection of how they move through my being. I feel complete soul expansion sitting in a quiet corner of nature. We are fundamentally connected to nature and I strive to embody that relationship through my creations”.
Brian Connolly is an artist based in Bundjalung (Byron Bay). Connolly’s works are characterised by etherealism and psychedelia which serve as vehicles to explore central themes of inner growth and transformation. His profound adoration for incorporating the teachings of nature is artfully intertwined into his nature-inspired paintings.
In addition to canvas paintings, the artist has found interest in exploring various mediums including fashion, ceramics, furniture, and mural painting. His distinctive mural works, including those commissioned for the acclaimed hair and beauty salon Edwards & Co, can be spotted in numerous locations across Australia. These murals have garnered significant media attention and have led to the creation of over 30 murals throughout the country, with recent installations including the flagship Mecca cosmetics store in Sydney CBD. His artistic creations have also adorned an exclusive Ink Art Gin bottle, been commissioned by boutique hotels, restaurants, homeware stores, and private residences. Notably, he has collaborated with The Pullman Hotel Hyde Park in Sydney, overseeing a gallery space within their lobby. The artist has showcased his works in various group exhibitions, with representation from esteemed galleries like Thom Gallery, Purple Noon and Forman Art. Most recently, Connolly had a successful solo exhibition at Maunsell Wickes Gallery in Paddington, Sydney.
