Lives and works between Melbourne and Mullumbimby Australia
Heath Wae is a multidisciplinary artist currently living and working in Northern New South Wales. Following his graduation from Sydney College of the Arts, Wae traveled intrepidly throughout Asia, settling in India for two years before moving to New York and Colombia for the years to follow.
Amidst these contrasting experiences, Wae found inspiration in chaos, calmness, humanity and nature while continuing to explore his gentle practice.
Inspired by the minimalist art of Rajasthani tantric devotees and numerous cultures of earth painting worldwide Wae draws from this connection to earth and spirit. This culture of painting is deep in philosophical subtext concerning the art of harmonious involvement with nature.
Combining earth pigments, raw ochres, found charcoals and natural oils Wae is opening up a more ethical and integral approach to contemporary minimalism.
These concepts endlessly inform Wae’s work, alongside the exploration of texture, tone, perception and depth; the rise of colour in the human eye and brain, the appreciation and discrimination of harmony and the intrigue or confusion of visual perception.

Harvey Galleries was founded by the Harvey family in 1994 with an eye to establish a dynamic and inclusive contemporary art space on the North Shore of Sydney. For almost three decades we have expanded our reach to over three gallery locations and an ever expanding stable of the best artists Australia has to offer.
Harvey Galleries acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which our galleries stand. The Guringai people (Seaforth), the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation (Sydney), and the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation (Melbourne).
We pay our respect to Elders past and present.
