Kenneth Lambert

Kenneth Lambert’s experimental practice embraces disintegrated matter and the inexorable expressions of the human condition. His conceptual approach captures the contemporary zeitgeist by transposing technological strategies to illuminate pressing social issues and the rising anxieties of our time. At the intersection of technology and the humanities, Lambert’s investigations delve into subjects like particle acceleration relating to climate change, and data visualisation technology, which he employs to investigate displaced narratives. His transdisciplinary practice spans digital media, film, expanded drawing, painting, installation, and performance.

With a professional background in museum and exhibition design, as well as film production, Lambert integrates his diverse skills into artistic practice. Since 2016, he has exhibited regularly in solo and group shows with notable ARIs and commercial galleries, including Artereal, Articulate Project Space, COMA, and Galerie Pompom. His work has been featured in award exhibitions across Europe, Australia, and the USA. His most recent commission, ‘Without a Trace’, for Edge X Biennale of Sydney, resulted in his work being showcased at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London as part of the international Lumen Prize.

In Australia, Lambert has been a finalist in prestigious awards such as the Churchie Emerging Artist Prize, the Alice Prize, the Dobell Drawing Prize, the Incinerator Gallery Prize for Art and Social Change, the Fisher’s Ghost Prize, the Kilgour Art Prize, and the Mosman Art Prize. Lambert has also participated in artist residencies across Europe and Australia. Most notably, he completed a 6-month self-directed residency with Amnesty International followed by a residency at Bundanon on the south coast of NSW, which culminated in the development of his latest surface painting series, Augmented Intervals. This body of work continues his exploration of memory, displacement and the human condition under strain.
