Original Photograph

Greg Bachmayer
"Boogie Rock"
PVC piping and lead weights

I took this photograph at the annual Sculpture by the Sea exhibition at Bondi. As I walked past the sculptures, I was captivated by the brilliance of vivid colours - pink, yellow, blue, purple and white. The combination of these colours, along with its placement on the contrasting, dark colour of the cliff's surface made it even more striking.
The geometric patterns created by the PVC pipes onto the natural environment made the surrounding nature part of this artwork.

Inspirational Buildings

I watched a TV program called "Grand Designs", which showcases complex and unusual architectural house-building projects. On one of its episodes, it showed an elderly couple who shipped a customised German post-and-beam house designed by architect, Peter Huf. They were inspired by Piet Mondrian's Composition artworks, incorporating this aspect into their house design. I was inspired by their architectural design of the house, reflecting the geometric lines of Mondrian's artworks on their exterior and interior of the house. The intergration of artistic touches with the architectural designs and structures has inspired me to become an architect.

Best Artworks from High School

This etching of my school shoe portrays one of my memorable objects during high school.
Through etching, I wanted to emphasise the weary lines of a worn out school shoe through the use of cross-hatching techniques. In addition, through printmaking I was able to contrast the black-and-white colours of the ink and the hahnemuhle paper. The use of minimal colours reflects the characteristics of an ordinary school shoe - simple and humble.




I produced this installation during high school as part of an environmental art. Using everyday objects, I made small, lifeless cotton buds into a monumetal-like structure that blended well with the natural environment. In particular, I took this photograph in a way that made the ordinary cotton buds seem larger than life through a close-up shot.




This is one of the artworks of my 7 piece HSC collection of works. This oil painting portrays our inevitable relationship with nature. Similar to naturally reading the newspaper everyday, we cannot avoid nature being an integral part of our lives. In this painting, I was inspired by the Pointillism techniques of using small, colourful dots to create an optical art. Furthermore, using myself as the model, and incorporating my home, as well as the newspaper, I made the subject matter more personal for me.
