East Coast Low
Matthew Heaney
1st April - 3rd June 2023
Seven Marks Gallery
7 Marks Street, Kiama
An East Coast low brings a change of atmosphere, anticipation/electricity in the air.
These 16 paintings explore the potential of experience and open up a conversation between two distinct areas – Inside and Outside. The inside of an artist in the studio and the outside facade.
“ Something changes as you move along in the process of making the work and the painting starts calling the shots, subject matter gets out of the way and your just on that quest to make a good painting”
“I do have that romantic notion of the artist in the studio working on something very meaningful. It’s mysterious and exciting but also painful and uncertain” (like life).
