Cameron Gresswell: Sound and Image

Celebrating the life and work of APA artist Cameron Gresswell, this commemorative exhibition honours his bold, music-infused visual language – a body of work defined by expressive colour, rhythmic composition, and a deep personal connection to sound and collecting.

Gresswell worked primarily with acrylic and pastel on paper. His compositions often featured meandering lyrics, band names, and album titles, anchored by two brightly coloured vinyl records – a recurring motif in his work. These visual elements transformed his personal vinyl archive into a dynamic field of text, form, and colour. His spontaneous style captured the pulse and energy of music, creating a unique visual rhythm that reflected his dual passions for sound and image.

Gresswell is remembered within the APA community as a brilliant colourist and an avid music collector. His work reflects a profound sense of personal meaning, turning the act of collecting music into a rich visual practice. Held in private collections, his legacy lives on through the vibrancy and clarity of his artistic voice.

Cameron Gresswell’s contribution to the studio continues to resonate through the bold, expressive energy of his work and the deep creative presence he brought to the APA studio.
