“In the making of this recent body of work, I have attempted to expose that delicate equilibrium of balance and visual calm amongst the tumult of expressionist painterly texture – as I have tried to capture the subtleties of surrounding coastal waterways.
Throughout I have found these works to be quite musical in their formation and final appearance.
The title of the exhibition Fermata means a pause of unspecified duration- I thought quite apt-not only for these works, but also for this point in time.
I offer the viewer to pause & contemplate the subtle nuances present within these works.”

Harvey Galleries was founded by the Harvey family in 1994 with an eye to establish a dynamic and inclusive contemporary art space on the North Shore of Sydney. For almost three decades we have expanded our reach to over three gallery locations and an ever expanding stable of the best artists Australia has to offer.
Harvey Galleries acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which our galleries stand. The Guringai people (Seaforth), the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation (Sydney), and the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation (Melbourne).
We pay our respect to Elders past and present.
Password and the invitation to view will be sent to you as soon as the exhibition preview opens.
