CHEWING SCENERY - Wade Taylor + Matthew Wright

Friends and collaborators Matthew Wright and Wade Taylor present their new bodies of work in Chewing Scenery, an exploration of contemporary Australian representational and landscape painting. This exhibition focuses on the processes core to both artists practices. Taylor’s representations of the mundane combined with a sense of the suburban gothic sit in conversation with Wright's exploration of painting approaches via fragmented snapshots of the everyday.

A ballad to Perth and the unique nature of its light and surface, where suburbs interlace a landscape that is hard and intractable. Limestone plays against cracked concrete and asphalt, seas of Colorbond against scorched lawns and dirt tracks, stage-lit by the blunt clarity of a West Australian sky.
