Rhys Cousins is a Melbourne artist who is necessarily transdisciplinary, blending formal education in landscape architecture with works across sculpture, painting, installation, and digital screens. Focused on the contemporary urban experience, Cousins’ practice delves into the phenomenology of landscape and its inherent qualities of texture, change, and variation. Winner of the 2022 emerging artist award at FortyFive Downstairs for his work ‘Pixel’, a textural reimagining of screen technologies, he has been a finalist in numerous art prizes including the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship 2024, the Sunshine Coast Art Prize 2023 and Footscray Art Prize 2023, and has exhibited in solo and group shows across Australia.
Rhys is a practice-based PhD candidate in the School of Design at RMIT University establishing a practice towards an amalgamation of screen technology and the urban landscape.
