Damien Kamholtz

Australia

Damien Kamholtz is a multidisciplinary artist who has developed a unique process of layering drawing and painting techniques that explore stories within stories, differing perspectives and hidden narratives. He is interested in a metaphoric and poetic visual language that speaks to the emotions rather than the intellect.

Damien has spent the last five years living with indigenous communities in Kakadu and remote West Arnhem Land regions of the Northern Territory. During this time he worked with senior cultural artists learning traditional approaches and techniques that are now informing his contemporary practice.
