Brent Hallard is an Australian-born abstract artist, curator and writer, who works on paper and aluminum exploring minimalist iconography and monochromatic expressions. His work fluctuates between precise, formal examinations of geographic shapes and more playful, idiosyncratic creations. Hallard is currently living and working in Byron Bay, Australia. Using mediums such as markers, watercolors and acrylics, he constructs monochromatic and semi-monochromatic images of recognizable geometric forms such as squares and rectangles on paper and aluminum. The work often consists of simple forms and clusters of forms and at other times it escapes the boundaries of line and shape. Hallard tends to focus on work that conveys precision and exactitude, while also flirting with looser explorations of color and form, creating more experimental geometric abstractions that invite additional layers of interaction from the viewer. Hallard works with the themes of space and geometry, manipulating images and arrangements of objects to challenge the perception of the viewer. His work is deeply rooted in the fundamentals of art history, especially building on the tendencies of abstraction, minimalism and the color field artists.
