Artwork by Thomas Readett

Thomas Readett is an established artist and a Ngarrindjeri/Arrernte man who was born and raised on Kaurna Country, where he continues to practice and live. The City of Salisbury is proud to present an exhibition by such a widely lauded first nations artist.

Thomas explores the wider world through themes of love, loss, and grief and considers the challenges of 21st-century life. In his latest exhibition inspired by the simple Rubik’s cube, Thomas sets the scene of a ‘thinking game’, asking viewers to consider a multi-layered reading of his works. The artworks are powerfully rendered in black and white, with careful attention to detail.

Thomas melds his talents with street art style combined with classical training, to produce work that is powerful, technical and conceptual.
