In Super Huge Mega Extreme, Heath Nock presents a body of oil paintings that position the monster truck at the heart of both personal narrative and cultural critique. Based in Lake Macquarie, NSW, and deeply influenced by his upbringing among travelling showmen, Nock draws from vivid childhood memories of attending monster truck rallies with his father. These early encounters with spectacle, performance, and power form the foundation for his exploration of how masculine identities are shaped and performed in contemporary culture.
Heath Nock is a contemporary Australian painter whose works explore how personal identity is constructed through cultural imagery, childhood memory, and collective nostalgia. Born in Sydney, he now lives and works in Toronto, New South Wales. Raised within a travelling showman family, Nock draws selectively from his early experiences, combining vintage media, cartoons, found ephemera, and familiar objects within carefully structured oil paintings.
