Adrian's early creative focus centred around musical composition, particularly electronic music. After graduating from a Bachelor of Music with honours from Melbourne University Adrian began a 10 year career as a music composer and producer. In this time he released solo alums of electronic music, toured his live electronic music around Australia, created remixes for high profile artists, worked on high profile soundtracks for film, TV, commercials and many game titles.
This creative focus then turned to visual art, in particular digital art. Further study at RMIT, culminated in the completion of his first computer animated short film which was screened in L.A. He was also selected for an intensive training program with Star Wars creators, Lucasfilm, ILM. To date, Adrian has worked in visual effects on many blockbuster films including Academy Award winning animation Rango, Transformers 3, Avengers, Mad Max, Ghostbusters, and an emmy award winning episode of Game of Thrones, to name only a few.
After 20 years of being creatively immersed in the digital, in an increasingly digital world, Adrian has found a new appreciation for the tactile. Thus begins his pursuit of creating art that is present, crafted and laboured over. Manipulating the elements of our earth, emphasised with the use of precious metals such as gold and palladium.
The subject of space comes from a great fascination and interest in the future of humankind and our role in this universe. Adrian artworks are all grounded in reality, collating elements from real photographs. We are now at the beginning of a new era of increased engagement with our solar system, a significant time, worthy of capturing with artistry.
