Matthew Simpson: Arbitrary Paintings

  • Free
  • Art

Yarraville artist Matthew Simpson has been painting in oils for more than 30 years. This show is of purely abstract, interior works that rely on their poetic mark-making. His approach is philosophical and fluid. Paintings are built up by the repetitive addition of line, quite loose, and differing in shape. You can lose yourself in the foliage of Simpson’s mark-making as the visual makes itself known in pure line.

Come along to the opening night with the artist: 6-8 pm Thursday May 1st.
