Billy Gibney (b. 1995) is an Australian artist whose practice explores the psychological complexities of memory and identity. His distinctive technique, layering thick paint mixed with crushed rock, produces a preserved, stone-like surface. Marked with scars and accumulations, the material becomes as important to the work’s narrative as the imagery itself. Drawing from a wide range of personal memories, observations, art history and film. Gibney’s emotionally charged works centre around figuration and symbolic objects.These elements act as vessels through which he examines how memory and perception distorts and evolves over time. His compositions often employ deliberate cropping, pulling the viewer into intimate, fragmentary moments while maintaining an ambiguity outside the frame.
