Dean Beletich is an Australian artist whose practice spans drawing and photography, exploring the intersections between observation, memory, and transformation. His work investigates how perception shapes experience - how the act of looking can reveal and obscure what is seen.
Through a contemplative approach to mark-making and image-making, Beletich captures fleeting moments and subtle shifts in light, texture, and atmosphere. His drawings often carry a quiet intensity, echoing the photographic impulse to record time, while his photographs reveal a sensitivity to composition and surface reminiscent of drawing.
Beletich's work has been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions across Australia. His ongoing practice reflects a deep engagement with material process, process, presence, and the poetic tension between stillness and change.
In KA-GÈ, I explore the subtle boundaries between presence and absence, light and darkness, form and trace. Through drawings and photographs, I seek to capture the quiet tension of what lingers just beyond sight - the shadow as both companion and echo. These works reflect on how memory, perception, and emotion are shaped now only by what is seen, but by what remains unseen.
KA-GÈ intvestigates the interplay of light, shadow, and sound. Influenced by musical structures - repetition, variation, silence - I approach drawing and photography as parrallel forms of composition. The works trace how perception oscillates between what is visible and what is felt, much like how music lingers after the last note fades.
KA-GÈ invites viewers to look closer, to find substance in the ephemeral, and to notice how even darkness can hold light.
