Greg Branson: Manifesto Melbourne

Artist Greg Branson visualises the city by crafting one photograph inspired by each master – translating their distinctive styles, philosophies and ways of seeing into Melbourne’s contemporary streetscape. From the distinctive clarity and precision of Paul Strand to the raw energy of Daidō Moriyama, Branson captures the spirit of these icons within Melbourne’s own visual language.

Familiar sites, the National Gallery of Victoria, Queen Victoria Market, City laneways and the city’s dynamic dining culture all become meditations on light, geometry and emotion. These works are not imitation but homage: each print an exploration of how temperament and vision shape perception itself. Together, they form a collective portrait of Melbourne as muse – restless, reflective and endlessly photogenic.

Launch: Thursday 4 June, 5.30pm to 7pm.
