Braddon Snape Email & Phone Number

Dr Braddon Snape is a nationally recognised Newcastle (Australia) based artist who specialises in three-dimensional practice including large-scale public artworks. Over the past 27 years Snape has developed a practice utilising a diverse range of media that now encompasses sculpture, installation, video, and performance, earning Snape a reputation for conceptually rich works revealed through a minimal aesthetic and an astute understanding and sensitivity to materials, media, and site. His current practice interrogates a dangerously exciting and new method of inflating steel. This performative process developed whilst researching for his PhD gives Snape’s work a renewed freedom, where it reveals a delicate dialogue between control and chance that has been aptly described as Action Sculpture. Snape’s recent addition of crafted light has added another dimension to his ever-evolving practice.Highlights include: Suppression Order, Nanda Hobbs 2023; Upriver/Downriver, Maitland Regional Art Gallery 2023; Winner of the Lake Prize 2022; Blake Prize finalist 2022; Things are not as they appear (Smoke and Mirrors), Nanda Hobbs Sydney and Grafton Regional Gallery 2021; An Act of Restraint, Nanda Hobbs Sydney 2019; Internal Pressure, The LockUp Contemporary Art Space, Newcastle 2019; Clouds Gathering, Public artwork commissioned by Maitland City Council for The Riverlink Building 2018; International Sculpture Festa 2012, Seoul, South Korea; Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize Finalist 2009; McClelland Sculpture Survey Award Finalist 2007; Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi 2003-2015.His work has been collected by Newcastle Art Gallery, Maitland Regional Art Gallery, MAC Museum and Grafton Regional Gallery and private collections throughout Australia and abroad.Snape accumulated over 20 years as a teacher of Sculpture/installation at Newcastle Art School, The University of Newcastle, and UNSW Art & Design.
