Steve Lopes: Some Mysterious Way

In Some Mysterious Way, Steve Lopes reveals a world of poetic, transitory figures and storytellers who are searching for the unknown. Lopes returns to exhibit in Tasmania with his first solo show at Penny Contemporary. Drawing on experiences from his travels, the works are alive with compelling, contemplative figures moving through strange landscapes. Some have their backs turned. Others engage with the viewer – yet all are embedded in the surrounding environment. Only through the deft, fluid movement of Lopes’ brushstrokes do the landscapes shift in time, place, and realism.
