Trent Whitehead is a contemporary painter and sculptor. He was born in April 1980 in a small surf town north of Sydney, Australia.

Trent’s paintings and sculptures are seen as totems. There is definitely image magic in them and they appear more like effigies than art. They have the intensity of out- sider art with rhythmic obsessive marks and strange morphing characteristics.

The sculptures particularly — part vase, part mask — feel like votive artefacts of a church, but not a church of organized religion. This is the new spirituality uncoupled from social construction and centered more on a direct relationship between you and your own mystical feelings.
