DUSTIN J VOGGENREITER

Dustin J Voggenreiter is an Australian artist whose work communes with ancestral spirits. By engaging with both contemporary abstraction as well as poetic, improvised performance, Dustin's work aims to fill the gaps left by an ambiguous ancestry. But where recorded history fails and loose ends abound, his acts of wrestling with the scraps of stories left by his ancestors results in work that is firmly rooted within the culture of Post-Truth  - where a sentimental form of hoodoo takes precedence over factual evidence. 

Working predominantly with an eclectic, unconventional material palette, his art invites interactivity, shimmering and wavering like a mirage as the viewer alters their vantage point. His works are at once pleasurable explorations of texture, colour, and improvisation, as well as a being a meditation on the invisible forces underlining human nature.

Dustin J Voggenreiter, b.1983, Fremantle, Western Australia
