Artist Recognition

Patron of the Arts with National Gallery of Australia and GOMA, and owner of the Toowong Private Hospital, Wayne was an easy choice to select as my next portrait subject. Research has proven that art helps the mentally ill and this has lead him to instal paintings throughout his hospital and implement art courses for the patients. Wayne is not a public figure, so for him to accept my portrait request required strength of character and a belief that what he is doing is the right thing. A strong, silent leader in the mental health field he lets his work do the talking. The portrait of Wayne is simplified yet detailed. I have chosen pokerwork as the medium as it produces a unique result. The burning etches the portrait into the timber creating a strong impression, and depending upon the position of the viewer it offers different experiences. It forces the audience to determine their own viewpoint to interpret the artwork. Like life, it is not until the audience takes a step back from the art that they can determine what the burning is all about, and therefore see the bigger picture more clearly.

Edward Trost has more than 30 years’ experience in the arts, working in a variety of media including ceramics, large scale sculpture, and animated feature films. In his portraiture, Trost renders his subject’s likeness as a collection of scorched tones, utilising a pyrographic technique to create individual burn marks on plywood. He selects subjects who have faced mental health challenges with inner strength and resilience. By highlighting recognisable people either actively working through depression or advocating on behalf of the community, Trost hopes his art will help to correct misconceptions about these debilitating illnesses.
