Mel Brigg’s paintings delve into the theme of movement, portraying the journey from Africa to Australia for asylum seekers seeking a better life. Having grown up in Africa and migrated to Australia in 1993, Brigg shares, “I have always been moved by the complexities of the human condition and my paintings are reflective of turbulent times that the human race may endure in countries with conflict. I also reflect on harmony and peace once pro-active personal change has occurred.”
