About
Lex Palmer Bull is an emerging Australian printmaker/artist based in Launceston, Tasmania.
Following a Bachelor degree in Fine Arts majoring in Printmaking at the Victorian College of the Arts from 2008-2011, her artistic studies continued in 2018 in the form of an Honours degree at the University of Tasmania.
Lex’s work is concerned with the notion of uncertainty, and in particular the precipice as expressed through structural imagery. Inspired by modernist and visionary architecture, her work refers to a fragile future that acknowledges the past through an abstracted aesthetic and the linerarism of printmaking.
Often combining traditional printmaking methodology with digital printmaking, the work’s material expression is conceptually analogous to its technical underpinnings.
In addition to a passion for Architecture, she is inspired by the structuralism of artists such as Sol Lewitt, Agnes Martin and Isa Gensken – whose linear and grid aesthetics inform a minimalist abstraction.
Lex has participated in multiple group exhibitions in Victoria, Tasmania, Sydney and Japan, including a solo exhibitions at Meeniyan Art Gallery and Sawtooth ARI. In August of 2018 she undertook an Artist residency at Cradle Mountain in conjunction with the Wilderness Gallery.
