Brett Naseby is a multidisciplinary artist whose creative practice includes illustration, photography, video, poetry and music.

In the early 2000s, his electronic band, The Far Out Project, earned airplay on Triple J and Rage, but in 2008, he shifted his focus to visual arts, establishing himself as a photographer and video producer. His talent led to his first solo photographic exhibition at Melbourne’s Brunswick Street Gallery in 2012, and by 2014, he had opened his own art gallery. After a creative hiatus, he returned in 2023 with a renewed energy, embracing illustration and poetry as a natural extension of his artistic expression.

RHYME showcases Brett’s ability to balance humor, surrealism, and depth. From the absurd antics of My Mighty Moo! to the eerie unease of Alone at Night, his poems weave playful absurdity with thought-provoking undertones. His influences, ranging from Roald Dahl and Dr. Seuss to Edgar Allan Poe and Emily Dickinson, are evident in his ability to craft verses that amuse, unsettle, and inspire in equal measure.

Brett’s favourite artists include Sidney Nolan, Pro Hart, John Olsen, Arthur Boyd, Jean Michael Basquiat, Frida Kahlo, Francis Bacon, Iris Van Herpen, Euan Macleod and Reg Mombassa.
