WATCH | Dane Lovett On Crafting Illusions With Paint

Melbourne Art Fair seized the opportunity to visit Dane Lovett in his studio and gain insight into his practice. He spoke about his use of a restrictive colour palette, creating illusions by warping imagery, and coming from a long line of artists.

His paintings are precisely crafted observations of familiar subject matter – from domestic plants and flowers to music and popular culture ­– echoing art historic traditions of still-life painting, yet taking on new meaning through the act of repetition.

At Melbourne Art Fair, he is presented by STATION (Naarm/Melbourne, Gadigal Country/Sydney) in a group show alongside artists, Clare Milledge, Tom Polo and Julia Trybala.

Melbourne Art Fair takes place 22 – 25 February at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. Secure tickets here.
