Aden Konrad

Aden Konrad is a contemporary visual artist known for his evocative mixed-media works that explore the intersection of memory, landscape, and cultural identity. Born in 1988 in Christchurch, New Zealand, Konrad’s practice traverses painting, sculpture, and sound installation, often drawing from the natural environments and urban spaces of Aotearoa. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Canterbury, where he developed a signature style marked by ethereal color palettes, layered textures, and a deep engagement with material experimentation.

Konrad’s work frequently examines the lingering marks of colonial history, environmental change, and the personal narratives embedded within place. Over the past decade, he has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions throughout New Zealand and internationally, and his work has been recognized with awards, residencies, and inclusion in major public and private collections. Blending poetic abstraction with subtle references to geography and history, Aden Konrad continues to push the boundaries of contemporary art while fostering conversations about place, belonging, and transformation.
