Rhys Cousins
Rhys Cousins is a multidiscliplinary artist based in Melbourne.
Blending a formal education in landscape architecture with works across sculpture, installation, and digital screens. Cousins’ practice is an investigation into the contemporary urban experience through the changing nature of landscape.
His practice provokes thought about the impact of technology on our everyday lives and the haptic possibilities of an increasingly digital existence. Winner of the 2022 emerging artist award at FortyFive Downstairs for his work Pixel, a textural reimagining of screen technologies, he has been a finalist in numerous art prizes including the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship 2024, the Sunshine Coast Art Prize 2023 and Footscray Art Prize 2023, and has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Australia.
