Australian artist Aidan Gageler lives and works between Awabakal and Yuin Land (Lake Macquarie/South Coast, NSW). He graduated from Camberwell College of the Arts, UAL (London, UK) with first-class honours. Most recently, he has been a finalist in the Ramsay Art Prize at the Art Gallery of South Australia.
Gageler’s practice thinks through photography’s receptibility, both to light and to sentiment. Curiously, his materials bruise with exposure to time, attesting to a kind of fleshy experience akin to our own.
