Steven Bellosguardo is an emerging artist working between Naarm/Melbourne and Tarntanya/Adelaide. Embracing labour-intensive techniques, Bellosguardo creates hybrid biomorphic forms and constructed assemblages that explore themes such as labour, counterculture, and the Anthropocene. By intertwining historical narratives with personal reflections, Bellosguardo’s work examines the complexity of shared subjective experiences.
Central to his studio practice is an awareness of the body, failure and time. With a background in construction and stonemasonry, Bellosguardo has adopted various processes and techniques, including forming, sculpting, casting and assemblage, with materials as diverse as metal, plaster, paint, bronze, aluminium, and silicone.
Steven Bellosguardo holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) from the Victorian College of the Arts and a Bachelor of Fine Art from the University of South Australia. Bellosguardo has held solo exhibitions at TCB, FELTspace, Airspace Projects, Stockroom Kyneton, and Fontanelle. In 2024 his work was included in the Melbourne Sculpture Biennale, Incinerator Art Prize, and was commissioned by Gertrude Contemporary. His work is held in both public and private collections nationally and internationally.
