Todd Fuller

Todd Fuller is a well-known Australian Artist whose work extends traditional notions of drawing across film, animation and performance works. Fuller is best known for his hand drawn animations which address a broad range of themes including Queer and Regional Narratives of Australia past and present. His narratives often position audiences to consider connection between person and place, love and loss, commonality, difference and belonging.

He has been awarded a number of residencies that have informed and developed his practice, including time spent at Bundanon Trust, Hill End, Grafton Regional Art Gallery, as well as international stints at the Cite Internationale des Arts in Paris, the British School of Rome, and recently the NG Creative Residency in Provence.

A graduate of Sydney’s National Art School, Fuller has exhibited widely across Australia. He was a finalist in the 2019 Sulman Prize, won the prestigious Jacaranda Acquistive Drawing Award in 2018, and his work is present in various public and private Australian collections, including the Parliament House Art Collection, Artbank, Sydney Harbour Trust, Museums of HIstory NSW, Maitland Regional Art Gallery, Muswellbrook Arts Centre, Grafton Regional Gallery and the State Library of New South Wales . Alongside his national success, Fuller has gained international attention, with his works in exhibitions in the United States, Italy, France, South Korea, Bangladesh, England, Singapore and Malta.

Recently, Todd completed his first public artwork, a 22-minute hand drawn animation derived from interviews with Maitland residents. The piece will be a permanent projection on the new Maitland Administration Centre adjacent to the Maitland Regional Art Gallery.
