Bronwyn Aitken is an emerging contemporary visual artist living and working in Boorloo (Perth, Western Australia) on Whadjuk Noongar boodja with an interdisciplinary practice that encompasses photography, printmaking, moving image, and creative writing.

With a practice-led research methodology, Aitken has developed a distinctive visual language grounded in material experimentation and conceptual layering. Intervening in both traditional and alternative creative processes, Aitken blends photographic techniques with cyanotype, lithography and etching, and incorporates drawing, painting, videography and archival ephemera in richly textured visual narratives.

Aitken offers a subversive lens on the Australian wilderness, revealing its strange, elusive beauty as a site of tension and ambiguity. Beneath the surface lies an evocative  undercurrent, an antipodean gothic sensibility informed by feminist inquiry. Through layered reimagining, Aitken constructs dreamlike mise-en-scènes where the surreal and the sublime converge with subtle abstraction, unfolding resonant conversations between light and dark, texture and form, the visible and the veiled.

Aitken has a diverse background in the arts and cultural industries, having worked nationally and internationally across film and television, interactive animation, live performance, and arts administration. This professional experience is supported by tertiary studies in fine art, media, theatre and drama, and creative writing. Aitken holds a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Arts from Murdoch University (1999), and is now returning to academia to undertake a Higher Degree by Research, focusing on contemporary feminist gothic approaches to colonial visual history, immersive technology, and modes of experience.

Since 2020, Aitken has exhibited work in a number of exhibitions, gained recognition in major Western Australian art awards, and established a growing collector base. Highlights include winning the Best Photography Prize at the Bayswater Art Awards, selection as a semi-finalist in the CLIP international biennale, and finalist positions in the Minnawarra, Belmont, Melville, and Rockingham Art Prizes.
