Aidan Weichard



Aidan Weichard is a Melbourne-based artist, who describes his creative process as "ever-evolving, with the constant being my subject matter". Native Australian flora and fauna are commonly depicted in Weichard’s works, which is symbolic of his affection toward the Australian landscape. Having grown up in the bush, Weichard developed a spiritual connection with the land and its animal inhabitants, both of which have become integral not only to his creative practice, but to his personal identity.


As well as the native wildlife, Aidan focuses on industrious farm animals, livestock and working dogs draw Aidan in time and time again for their stoic and loyal nature. Vitality and vigour are key for each and every work, from the physical energy that created them with intentional drama in each brush stroke, through to the subject matter itself. Subtlety may be amiss, but glimpses of thought-out, calculated intention are present, creating a tension that draws the viewer in for a closer observation. Layered mixed media is preferred, again boosting the drama and depth to each work, textural layers resemble the generation of fallen fauna on the forest floor, allowing shapes and fauna to grow and become recognisable images amongst the mess. His message is simple, ‘mindful reflection of this amazing place and the incredible things within it'.
