Brendan Van Hek works across mediums, incorporating a range of materials in works spanning from small text-based neons to large-scale abstract installations. His research is driven by an interest in narratives located in personal history, fiction and cultural politics.

Brendan currently lives and works in Sydney and has exhibited widely nationally and internationally in Canada and the USA. He has been included in major surveys nationally, has undertaken a residency at the ISCP, NY, and in 2013 was awarded a mid-career fellowship. He recently developed significant permanent public installations – a large scale suspended neon artwork for Little Hay Street, Darling Square, Sydney; and a seven metre tower of LED lights, glass and stainless mirror for the Museum Station entry at 130 Elizabeth Street, Sydney. His work is held in institutions and private collections in Australia and internationally.
