Augustus Firestone is an Australian artist working with Painted Sculpture Relief, a practice that sits between painting, sculpture, and landscape. His work explores how place is experienced, remembered, and constructed—physically, culturally, and visually.
Drawing on the Australian landscape as both subject and material reference, Firestone’s works are built through layered surfaces, relief forms, and painted interventions. Rather than depicting landscape as a distant image, the work treats it as something encountered—compressed, fragmented, and reassembled through surface and depth.
This practice has evolved through ongoing experimentation with materials and scale, moving away from purely representational approaches toward works that emphasise structure, edge, and tactility. The result is a body of work that occupies an in-between space: part image, part object.
Works in progress, prints, and publications, alongside documentation of exhibitions and projects as they develop over time.
