Brad Collins, Birds, Deaths & Marriages, 2025
Oil on canvas, 40x50cm, ready to hang
Brad M Collins is a multi-disciplinary artist based on the Mid North Coast of NSW, on Birpai Land. Brad fuses humour with deeper meaning, utilising these contrasting, yet complimentary ideas to explore existential themes and internal reflection.
Brad creates a subtly-surreal setting where human figures wear animal masks or engage with anthropomorphic pelicans, while still lifes feature symbolically charged objects, celebrating or making sense of pivotal personal life experiences. Whether it's contemplating love, grief, loss or joy, a humorous tone welcomes the viewer before a deeper meaning is slowly revealed.
My practice explores everyday life through a humorous, surreal, existential lens. With a combination of oil painting, murals and illustration, I navigate my own emotions and ways of feeling about the world. I spend a considerate amount of time with my ideas, contemplating the simple act of buying eggs from a neighbour's chickens, attending a friend's wedding or reflecting on my mothers passing. My practice offers the time and space necessary to consider my values and decide how I want to live my life. I invite viewers to consider the message hidden below the layer of surrealism and humour and see how a lighter viewpoint can assist in understanding the difficult and unique moments in our lives.
