Currently showing at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney is Scott Redford’s Blood Disco, an exploration of Australian surfing traditions. Redford resides in Queensland where he was born and raised. Located at the north-eastern corner of Australia, it is often nicknamed the “Sunshine State” for its humidity and beach culture. The exhibition includes canvases created from foam, fibreglass and resin that are constructed in a highly similar way to surfboards. Redford drew the designs that appear on the works, before commissioning specialised surfboard manufacturers to create the unique canvases. Redford has widely exhibited his work both nationally and abroad and venues including Torch Gallery, Amsterdam, Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin and the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra.
