Based in Christchurch originally and now active in Melbourne, Damon Puddy crafts abstract compositions that emerge from the space “beneath the concrete world of our material realities.” Through fluid textures, nebulous shapes, bold smears of colour and enigmatic visual language, his work invites countless interpretations while navigating the boundary between impressionism and science fiction.Each collection is a journey, whether themed as “Abstract Mechanism” or other series, and is often accompanied by original prose to amplify its conceptual undertones. Puddy’s art is at once atmospheric and tactile, engaging the viewer in a layered dialogue through pigment, gesture and form.
