Jack Bailey

Jack Bailey is a Byron Bay based, contemporary landscape artist with a sophisticated eye for abstraction, shape and tone, challenging traditional landscape photography through detailed exploration of formal elements within local & international environments.

Through fastidious macro study of landscape, Jack strives to capture unique subconscious, fractal moments driven by recursion. All partial elements of the overarching panorama. Vaguely familiar dream-like occurrences buried in the psyche and recounted through unique, large format artworks that serve as meditative portals to the natural world.

I have always felt an uncommon affinity with places dark, ancient and unbroken. I find solace in empty landscapes, void of human interference:

Raw.
Rugged.
Elemental.

I find the company of the wild far more affable than that of modern man.
