Overview
Overview
Teo Treloar was born in Sydney, Australia, in 1974. He completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at Sydney College of the Arts with 1st class Honours. He undertook a Masters of Visual Arts at the same institution for which he received an Australian Post Graduate Award. Treloar's dissertation, The Mediation of Catastrophe, investigated aesthetic and narrative-based similarities between the technological broadcast of 'real' catastrophic events and those seen within the Hollywood Disaster epic's film genre. More recently, his creative work has been investigating existential narrative constructs and the representation of the male archetype in contemporary drawing practice. Treloar has been exhibiting around Australia since 2008 in both commercial and public galleries. He was included in The National, 2019, at The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia. In 2020 Treloar was awarded the prestigious JADA Drawing Award from Grafton Regional Gallery. Teo currently coordinates the Visual Arts first year program and is the discipline advisor for Visual Arts at the University of Wollongong.
Research Areas
Research Overview
- I am an artist and academic working primarily in drawing and painting. My research has a focus on my intensive drawing practice. In my work, I aim to test the discipline’s behavioral and emotional limits, examining the possibilities of minute gesture and trace. Much of my work is about the act of mark-making itself; however, my drawings also explore the personal experience of mental illness and depression. The role of speculation and narrative in my work is important; therefore, a body of work is often iterative and will expand a single idea or image through various permutations.
