Quotes by the artist

"Painting is a metaphor for control carrying with it endless possibilities"

Ethan Lam (1995-present) is a contemporary expressionist artist that works in Queensland, Australia. The central focus of Lam's work is the investigation of the concept of unfolding the human condition. Using a range of media to explore this central concept, it is a strong belief that the mind can be fully engaged through the use of varying visual aesthetics. At the core of Lam's artistic philosophy, he holds the strong belief that the human sub-conscious forms the reality in which we live, making no two the same. Forever a student to the world in which we live, it is significant to consider learning the known and unknown knowledge and beliefs acclaimed throughout history, informing a contemporary understanding of the world and self.

"Art is but a snap shot into another time or worldly place"

"Art is an appropriation of emotions and moments that allows its audience to glimpse through the artist's eyes"
