Jonny Niesche explores the unique materiality of copper in his captivating print, moon moth lust in warm copper.

Exploring themes of beauty, lust and desire the work draws inspiration from a moth's intuition to fly towards a light source – in this case the moon. The hypnotic green and pink gradient is sampled from a Spanish moon moth and vintage Avon beauty bottles. These colours highlight the undertones of brushed copper, the reflective qualities of which run through the artist’s practice.

”Since childhood, the dense allure of copper always seemed to harbour a sense of magic for me.”

Behind the scenes

Jonny Niesche6 collaborationsAustralian artist Jonny Niesche sprinkles abstract minimalism with a touch of kitsch. His incandescent compositions ooze from the centre outwards in swathes of carefully rendered pastel hues, all dosed in the rebellious glitter of glam rock. Unabashed by comparison, Jonny is an artist who is excited about art. He lists a reel of names from whom he takes inspiration, including his university tutor Heimo Sobering, contemporary artist Isa Genzken, and, of course, king of glam rock, David Bowie. While his aesthetic is incredibly streamlined, his daily practice operates within very open perimeters, working in a communal studio based on an ethos of sharing equipment and offering supportive critique. In the studio, Jonny’s process is highly technical and fastidious, using a variety of techniques and materials including metal stretchers, voile, digital colour selection and dye sublimation – a process that uses heat to transfer dye.
