FOREST

Dean is a Brisbane‑based Scottish artist working primarily with synthetic polymer in contemporary abstract forms. His practice centres on geometric structures and bold colour fields that distill subjects into their essential emotional and visual components. Themes shift between landscapes, portraiture, and more introspective explorations, yet each work reflects his ability to deconstruct the world through colour and form.

Dean's artistic commitment deepened during a period of depression and trauma, when painting became both a grounding practice and a means of reconnection. Through this creative meditation, Dean engaged with his inner landscape, transforming personal struggle into vibrant, contemplative works that define his evolving artistic voice.

This geometric abstract work interprets a forest through intersecting black lines that fracture the white background into dynamic shapes. Each segment holds deconstructed tones of green, brown, and muted natural hues, echoing the forest’s essence in my signature style. The bold palette and structured composition distill the landscape into colour and form, capturing its rhythm and energy while conveying its peace and tranquility. Finished in a floating Tasmanian oak frame, the piece reinforces its connection to the natural world.
