Rohan Schwartz (b. Darlinghurst, 1986) is a Naarm/Melbourne-based multidisciplinary artist whose work encompasses painting, drawing, sculptural installation, writing, poetry, photography, and video. Drawing on contemplative practices associated with his South African, Ashkenazi, and Gujarati heritage, a central part of Schwartz’s artistic sensibility is an attentiveness to the continua—time, energy, matter—linking human experience at the micro level to the universe at the macro level.

Schwartz earned a Bachelor of Fine Art with Honours from the Victorian College of the Arts in 2009 and a Graduate Diploma of Education from the University of Melbourne in 2017. He has exhibited at spaces including Gertrude Contemporary’s Glasshouse, p r o j e c t 8, West Space, TCB art inc., Substation, KINGS Artist-Run, and the National Gallery of Victoria. He served as a board member at Seventh Gallery between 2010-12. Schwartz worked as part of the collaboration Normal Gallery, whose projects took place in Australia, China, and North Korea.
