'yes, withstanding'
.
Mixed media, 35cm high, footprint variable, 2025
Four individual works differently achieved, come together as an installation in response to site to form the one work, 'yes, withstanding' [2025].
Gary Deirmendjian is a Sydney based artist whose practice encompasses sculpture, photography, video, installation and site-specific intervention.
Recognised as a sharp observer of the present, his work is often described as beguiling, thought-provoking and socially concerned. Further, it prefers to exist in direct friction with daily life, in and amongst the public.
Recent books on his work include COMMON GROUND [Bandicoot Publishing, 2025] and A PREVAILING SENSE OF DISQUIET [Hardie Grant Books, 2020].
He holds an MFA in Sculpture from the National Art School [2006], where he has been teaching since 2012.
