Merryn Trevethan (AU)

Merryn Trevethan is an Australian artist currently based in Hong Kong, relocating in February 2021 after 7 years in Singapore. Her abstracted, hyper- saturated artworks are inspired by the changing nature and structure of cities. She examines how we see, navigate and record our experiences of urban environments. Her paintings, drawings, murals and objects are often layered in site-responsive installations to reflect different modes of seeing, inviting viewers to relate to and be critical of our surroundings.

Merryn graduated with an MFA from Monash University, Melbourne (2005). Recent commissions include a site-specific mural for the Australian Theatre for Young People at their new premises on Pier 2, Sydney Harbour; a digital painting for Henderson Land, Hong Kong and cover artwork for Fran Swinn’s new LP “Old Idea/New Idea”. In Singapore, Merryn created murals for Facebook OpenArts program in 2020 and 2015. She was one of ten artists (and co-curator) of Bus.Stop.Art public art project, commissioned by National Arts Council for Singapore Art Week 2021. Key residencies include Golden Foundation Residency Program, New York (2018) and Red Gate International Artist Residency, Beijing, China (2009). She has held solo and group exhibitions in Australia, Singapore, USA and Hong Kong. She has participated in public art festivals in Melbourne and Singapore, where in 2014 she was awarded first prize for DRIVE - Public Art Festival Open Call.

Merryn Trevethan 是一位現居香港的澳洲藝術家，在新加坡居住 7 年後於 2021 年 2 月移居香港。她抽象、高飽和的藝術作品受到城市變幻無常的大自然和城巿的結構啟發。她研究了我們如何看待、導航和記錄我們對城市環境的體驗。她的繪畫、素描、壁畫和雕塑在現場響應裝置中分層，以反映不同的觀看模式，邀請觀眾聯繫我們周圍的環境並對其提出批評。

Merryn 於 2005 年畢業於墨爾本莫納什大學，獲得藝術碩士學位(2005)。 最近的作品包括澳大利亞青年劇院於悉尼港 2 號碼頭的新址製作特定場地壁畫；香港恆基地產的數碼繪畫和 Fran Swinn的 音樂專輯《Old Idea/New Idea》封面藝術作品。 在新加坡，Merryn 於 2020 年和 2015 年為 「Facebook OpenArts」項目創作了壁畫。她是「Bus.Stop.Art」公共藝術項目中的十位藝術家（和聯合策展人）之一，該項目受國家藝術委員會委託，參加 2021 年新加坡藝術週。她主要參與過的藝術駐留計劃包括紐約Golden Foundation駐留項目（2018）和中國北京紅門國際駐地項目（2009）。 她曾在澳大利亞、新加坡、美國和香港舉辦個展和群展。 她曾參加墨爾本和新加坡的公共藝術節，並於 2014 年獲得新加坡的「DRIVE - Public Art Festival」公開徵集一等獎。 策展項目包括國家藝術委員會為 2021 年新加坡藝術週委託的項目「Bus.Stop.Art」、公共廣場項目「Rules of Engagement」、新加坡「The Substation」 (2019) 和 新加坡「This Wild Song x Singapore」（2018 年）以慶祝國際婦女節。
