Distribute the Leisure Evenly

Yannick Blattner is a Brisbane based artist focused on the intersection between labour and leisure—examining their class-laden values and shifting cultural expectations. Cultural phenomenon, prevailing customs, rituals, and social-economic paradigms are examined to call attention to the immobility of these structures. Blattner’s paintings turn familiar objects and imagery into symbolic devices—rearranging and tweaking their context to present new meanings. Exploring the potential for narrative his work deals in ambivalence and uncertainty with underlying meta-narratives surrounding the conventions and formalities of art making. Australia flaunts a climate-based lifestyle that is synonymous with the nations identity and has become highly commodified. Blattner’s work uses the commercial manifestations of this lifestyle—capturing the by-products of a climate that is simultaneously idyllic and unforgiving. Concerned with incongruent cultural practices Blattner’s work focuses on shifting aesthetic and social conventions which form unwanted, outwardly generated class expectations.
