saxon quinn is a self-taught mixed media artist interested in the rough, the worn and the resilient. born in country victoria, saxon spent his childhood surrounded by creativity. his artist mother tied a basket to the ceiling of her studio where, as a baby, he would swing while she worked. as he grew older, he began sketching, painting and experimenting with clay, at times accidentally defacing her works in the process.

after studying communication design and building his career in melbourne, saxon moved to new york city, immersing himself in the city and its urban patina. the beauty he found in the aged and weathered elements were cemented as the foundation of his creative work, and painting became the outlet.

now, from his studio in the northern rivers region of new south wales, saxon primarily uses canvas, graphite and paint, layering hues, symbols and textures to create works that sway from the intentional to the unrestrained, the minimalist to the uninhibited. each piece bears meaningful motifs alongside elements of mischievous humour, with each mark representing an aspect of his life. these marks are arranged precisely to induce a sensory effect, where a calming constellation can be found in a world of perceived chaos.
