FERNANDO DO CAMPO
Fernando do Campo is a young Australian artist, writer and curator based in Tasmania. do Campo’s works explore the formal and decorative qualities of pictorial space through the manipulation of a set of repeated geometric shapes.
By reducing painting and sculpture to their most elemental forms- namely colour, line, shape, and material- do Campo challenges the notion of the picture, both in the sense of its creation and in its appreciation. Employing a set of rules and restrictions in order to formally define the parameters of his paintings, do Campo’s works are striking in their formulism and visual championing of the decorative.
do Campo has been the recipient of a number of awards and residencies, including a 2013 position as Artist in Residence at BMUKK, Vienna, a 2012 studio residency at the Cite Internationale des Arts, Paris, and the 2013 award for Young Tasmanian Achiever of the Year (Arts). He has also exhibited in a number of solo and group exhibitions nationally.
