Bio & Rationale
Sarge Jorgenson is a Brisbane-based Australian artist whose practice spans painting and sculpture. Working across both studio and public formats, his work draws on a long-standing connection to place, with a focus on colour, form, and composition shaped by the Australian environment.
His painterly work is defined by bold, bright colour and structured compositions that reference themes of home and belonging. Subject matter often draws from Australian flora and fauna alongside mid-century suburban architecture, creating a visual language that feels both familiar and stylised. Across his practice, colour plays a central role, used to anchor each work and guide the overall composition.
Alongside his studio work, Jorgenson produces large-scale mural projects that respond to specific locations. These works often take cues from topographical layouts, layered with symbols, motifs, and gestural marks that reference local history and cultural context.
Comfort Zone is a polymer paint work on canvas featured on an Aether Brewing beer label as part of the brewery’s Artist Initiative. The piece centres on the idea of quiet, personal spaces – places used to step away, reset, and reconnect. The composition reflects Jorgenson’s broader practice, using colour and structure to create a sense of familiarity without fixed narrative.
