Danny Jarratt

About the Artist

I am Danny Jarratt, a painter based on Kaurna land, in Adelaide, South Australia.

My practice is both political and shaped by personal experience. As a queer child growing up in a heteronormative society, I always felt 'othered.' I dealt with this alienation by diving deep into the fantastical world of video games and science fiction. My practices explore how these media forms can be read as a queer space, often existing outside heteronormativity with different laws and social norms.

I am a graduate of University of South Australia, with honours. A selection of my exhibitions include FELTspace, Adelaide; Collective Haunt, Adelaide; MOD, Adelaide; Praxis Artspace, Adelaide; Seventh Gallery, Melbourne; Metro Arts, Brisbane; Tuggeranong Arts Centre, Canberra and MOM-us Experimental Center for the Arts, Greece. I have received grant funding from Helpmann Academy and ArtsSA.

Currently at Post Office Projects Studio, Port Adelaide.
