ABOUT THE ARTIST
Noah Grosz
Born in 1970 into an artistic family, Noah Grosz completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at La Trobe University, majoring in Painting, Printmaking, and Sculpture. He won the Castlemaine State Festival Arts Prize, secured an Australia Council Art Start Grant, exhibited at Diane Tanzer Gallery and other notable Melbourne galleries, had a major sculptural work acquired by the Bendigo Art Gallery, and today he continues to create painted and sculpted works for exhibitions and private commissions.
Exploring both 2D and 3D practices, Noah feels continuously challenged and inspired, encouraging his evolution as an artist. When not painting or sculpting, Noah has worked at the Garage Art bronze casting foundry, sculpting, mould-making and casting, as a technician at Bendigo Art Gallery, and as an art handler and technician at the National Gallery of Victoria. Currently, Noah is a full-time artist, working in his studio on the Bellarine Peninsula.
Noah’s current practice extends to classical bronze sculptures exploring the unique fauna of Australia, to intensely coloured, otherworldly painted landscapes, expounding the beauty and wonder of our ancient continent. For Noah art is a way of honouring nature and drawing attention to what might be lost without our mindful care and reverence.
“Noah Grosz is a dynamic and fascinating contemporary artist who works across drawing, painting and sculpture and in doing so engages with a multiplicity of concepts. Through his examination of the built and natural environment he highlights contemporary issues of climate change and the uneasy relationship between humans and the environments they inhabit…”
