Peter Simpson’s latest exhibition at Arthouse Gallery, entitled ‘Cliffs’, focuses on the majestic landscape of Australia’s East Coast. The series of oil paintings, gouaches and monotypes explores such familiar scenes as Sydney Harbour, Botany Bay, and Malua Bay on the NSW South Coast, capturing the essence of the place in a manner that is simultaneously temporally specific and timeless.
Building on his previous body of work presented in the 2010 ‘Shimmer’ exhibition, Simpson’s new series of paintings are a subtle evocation of culture and spirit, embodied by the landscape.
