Juan Ford – Expanding the Horizons of Realism
Juan Ford is a celebrated Australian artist known for pushing the boundaries of realism in painting. His work examines the complex relationship between the human figure and the natural world, employing innovative strategies that challenge the traditional dialogue between painting and photography. By reimagining these mediums' theoretical "problems," Ford creates compelling works that expand the possibilities of representation.
After earning a Master of Art from RMIT University in 2001, Ford undertook high-profile commissions for institutions such as the Australian War Memorial, the National Gallery of Victoria, and Trinity College Melbourne. His extensive exhibition history includes solo shows at prestigious venues like Palazzo Bembo in Venice and Galerie du Monde in Hong Kong, as well as participation in landmark group exhibitions, such as Melbourne Now at the National Gallery of Victoria and Art Basel Hong Kong.
Throughout his career, Ford has garnered international recognition through awards and residencies across Australia, Italy, and the United States. His works, including large-scale paintings often sized at 150 x 180 cm and priced at $45,000, are celebrated for their meticulous craftsmanship and conceptual depth.
Blending technical brilliance with thought-provoking themes, Juan Ford continues to captivate audiences and redefine the potential of realism in contemporary art.
