I am a Meanjin (Brisbane) based multidisciplinary artist, designer and gallery owner. My practice sees the convergence of realism and abstraction, as I employ contemporary painting and collage techniques to oscillate between abstraction and figuration for primarily painted outcomes. Layers of digital and photographic source material are interrupted with painterly gestural marks and carefully selected motifs, challenging depth on two-dimensional surfaces. Through my multimedia practice, I carefully examine and express the tensions that occur when activating analogue practices within a digital age. I combine highly rendered imagery (both painted and AI-generated) with gestural mark-making, and employ my 13 years’ experience as a large-scale commercial mural artist to construct small, medium and large scale artworks for exhibition.  I have maintained a public art and graphic design practice for 13 years, participated in multiple national and international residency projects, and continue to support emerging artists by facilitating regular skills-building and mentorship engagements in Brisbane and beyond.  I hold a Certificate IV in Visual Arts, Bachelor in Fine Art (Visual Arts) and am currently undertaking research around the signifiers of public art, humans’ subtle experiences (private) of urban and digital (public) environments, and how these can be configured to perform in both a public and gallery context (Master of Visual Art at Griffith University).

Spectator Jonze is the moniker of the artist behind Deena Lynch. Lynch was born in Yokohama, Japan to a Taiwanese mother and an Australian father. She migrated to Australia under less than certain circumstances when she was 6 years old. Lynch grew up in many different homes under many different situations and circumstances. She was not quite an orphan, but didn’t quite belong anywhere.

Throughout her childhood and adolescence this put Lynch in touch with a myriad of people and demons, coming from disjointed backgrounds themselves, or from positions of power. Having experienced physical and sexual abuse throughout this time, it pushed Lynch into the safety of PTSD where suppression, depression and dissociation became a survival tactic.

Having always carried a creative mind, it was only natural that Lynch used art and music as an outlet. 2017 was the year Lynch finally came to an age and understanding regarding her mental health, trauma and quirks. It was through her visual art – utilised as a cathartic vessel – that she began to uncover her secrets, even ones she had hidden from herself.
