Damien Quick is a Brisbane-based artist whose work explores movement, texture, and the surreal. With a background spanning visual arts, animation, and design, his practice blends traditional techniques with a deep understanding of form and motion. Drawing inspiration from the intricate root systems of Queensland strangler figs, the organic patterns of nature, and the bold visions of 1970s sci-fi artwork, his pieces often evoke a sense of fluidity—swirling, shifting, and evolving within the frame.

Born in the 1970s in North Queensland, Damien’s early years were shaped by frequent relocations across Australia. Despite unrecognized learning difficulties, he found an early passion for art, music, and technology. Pursuing creative studies through high school and TAFE, he developed a foundation in both fine art and commercial design. His career has since spanned sign fabrication, film post-production, animation, commercial photography, and audio-visual production. Alongside his work in visual arts, he has been involved in live music, video production, and music vision & lighting, bringing a multidisciplinary approach to his creative practice.

Over time, his artistic focus has sharpened, leading him to work primarily with airbrush, acrylic, watercolour, ink, and modern tools like paint pens. His distinctive style—often described as "colourful H.R. Giger"—blends the fantastical with the abstract, using organic forms and intricate textures to create immersive, otherworldly compositions.
Now at a pivotal stage in his career, Damien is fully dedicated to his art, continuing to refine his techniques, explore new mediums, and push the boundaries of his creative expression.
