ARRYN SNOWBALL

Arryn Snowball is an Australian artist who has been living and working in Berlin for the last 7 years. Snowball’s painting is multidisciplinary and process based, often involving material and formal complexity.

Currently he is collaborating with Sofia Karagiorgou (Dancer in Berlin), Nathan Shepherdson (Poet in Brisbane) and Monica Vasile (Anthropologist, University of Maastricht). He has participated in the broader arts community through collaborative projects, lecturing, forums, critical writing, workshops, and artist run initiatives. Snowball also has a Doctorate of Visual Arts from the Griffith University, Brisbane, where he taught painting from 2005-2012. Over the last 17 years his work has been shown in 29 solo exhibitions and numerous group shows in galleries, museums and institutes in Europe, Australia and Japan.

I put my trust in process and follow where it leads. Process is at the heart of abstract painting. It is where my work springs from and where I return. It is my discipline, my practice. I’m interested in what painting is. What is specific to the medium. I’m into the basics:line, colour, shape, and how they interact, how they create depth and rhythm, how they collect other things, such as meaning, feeling, human vulnerability.
