Chris Bilby is an emerging visual artist who uses drawing, painting, digital printmaking, and collage to explore external and internal worlds.

He completed a Master of Fine Arts at RMIT University (2022) following a career as an art director – a professional background that informs his current practice, with a graphic approach quite often evident. Although the core of his work stems from drawing, he continues to experiment with various expanded practices.

His most recent project – Immortal Clickstream – is an eclectic mash-up of his browser history, used as source material for works that self-reflexively process meaning and identity in a world overburdened with data and indiscriminate visual noise. It continues an interrogation of themes from previous projects such as entanglement, multiplicity, fragmentation and connection/disconnection.

Currently, Chris lives and works in Suzhou, China, with the occasional foray back to his hometown of Melbourne, Australia

He respectfully acknowledges the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation on whose ancestral and unceded lands he has lived most of his life.
