Scott Redford’s visually rampant fist-in-mouth and Egyptian eye images riff on the early surrealist films of Luis Buñuel, via a queer punk aesthetic, in this pop-savvy work.

Artist Statement - Scott Redford

'My recent work has consistently sought to avoid the usual deployment of the high/low culture divide when thinking about popular culture. I aim to adopt a strategy of immersion rather than critique. We are participants rather than spectators. The lineage for my video work, paintings, photography, pornography and objects comes directly from the influence of the writings of the ’80s Australian Popists, whose leader was Paul Taylor. However, I come from Queensland's Gold Coast. To me, the much-maligned Surfers Paradise becomes a site where anything is possible: an eternal present where art can voice its relevance within and alongside contemporary culture.'
