Gene A’Hern (b. 1993 in Australia) is an artist based in New South Wales, Australia. At the core of his practice is a deep engagement with drawing. Gestural marks are made with a combination of processes revealing an eruption of recognisable elements from his everyday landscape: mountain peaks, rain, sky, and bushland. Oscillating between abstraction and landscape, portrait and still life painting, A’Hern’s work is arbitrarily engaged in modernist painting yet looks inward to echo a unique pictorial language, as depth and movement reveal a lyrical illustration of place.
