Art has enabled Searle to explore his Colombian heritage and identity which has brought an understanding of the strength that his culture can provide. Searle’s work uses figurative repetition to explore meaning, which shift with the context of each work. Major projects include Wall of Gold 2023, Stolen Gold 2023-2024 and Museo del Oro Robado (Museum of Stolen Gold), 2024. Exhibited in both public and commercial gallery spaces, these projects examine and unpack Pre-Columbian artefacts held in museum collections encountered through texts, as a means to further understand his own diasporic history and identity as an Australian-Colombian.

Arthouse Selective respectfully acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land and waters where our project is based.

We honour their enduring connection to this land and recognise their deep cultural heritage that spans thousands of generations. We pay our respects to Wurundjeri Elders, past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia.

We also recognise the strength, resilience, and vibrant creative traditions that continue to flourish within Indigenous communities across all generations and regions.

Arthouse Selective is committed to fostering an inclusive space that celebrates and uplifts these diverse cultural narratives as part of our ongoing work in Naarm/Melbourne and beyond.
