World by Light

solo exhibition - Nanda Hobbs Gallery, Sydney 2025

"These paintings are what the French writer Georges Bataille called “mobile thoughts”. Thriving in iteration, they do not seek a definitive state. If a “philosophy is never a house,” always “a construction site,” as Bataille put it, Brett’s art is the same: an ongoing construction site, like the bush itself. His works forms are open and unpredictable. They expand in the imagination beyond their borders, encouraging in the viewer a sense of immersion."
