'Long before I visited Japan, I had already been there, through imagination, cinema, music and the small adventures of my youth: I had dreams of this distant world. When I finally arrived at age forty, it felt both familiar and new: a meeting of memory, mystery and the people who completed the story. This series traces that voyage, where the imagined and the real meet, and where past, present and future converge. In many ways, my influences had already made the trip; I was simply catching up' - Jean-Luc Syndikas.

Jean-Luc Syndikas is an Australian-born artist working across drawing, photography, and film. His work has been exhibited internationally, including group shows in Melbourne, New York, and Pingyao, China. In 2024, he presented his debut solo exhibition 'Drrty Grlz + Prrty Boyz' at SOL Gallery, which attracted a wide and enthusiastic audience. Beyond his art, Jean-Luc curates and leads innovative life drawing experiences such as Top Secret Life Drawing, a cinematic, body-positive exploration of movement, identity, and form. Influenced by Surrealist art and film, his recent work investigates the theme of ‘journeys,’ crafting evocative visual narratives that invite viewers into dreamlike, introspective worlds.
