Kenneth Lambert’s experimental practice embraces disintegrated matter and the inexorable expressions that reflect the human condition.
Lambert’s conceptual approach captures the contemporary zeitgeist by transposing themes found in science to illuminate current social issues and rising anxieties of our time. At the intersection of technology and the humanities, the artist’s investigations have led to works that utilise particle acceleration to relate to climate change and data translation technology to investigate digital autonomy. Lambert’s cross-disciplinary practice encompasses digital, film, expanded drawing, painting and installation.
With a professional background that encompasses museums, exhibition design and filmmaking, Lambert draws on diverse skills to thread through his artistic practice. Since 2016 he has regularly exhibited in both solo and group shows with Australian ARI’s and commercial galleries, including Artereal, Articulate project space, COMA, Galerie pompom and Verge Gallery. His work has been featured in award shows and publications in Australia, USA and Europe. In Australia, he has been a finalist in the Churchie Emerging Artist Prize, The Alice Prize, Incinerator Gallery Prize - Art for Social Change, The Fisher’s Ghost Prize, Kilgour Art Prize, Mosan Art Prize and Dobell Drawing Prize. He currently a seasonal lecture at the National Art School and has participated in various artist residencies in Europe and Australia, most recently completing consecutive residencies with Amnesty International and Bundanon Trust.
