Overview
Expat abstract artist Max Gimblett, who is well known for his rich and inventive work, is back with The Ballad of the South Pacific. Although he was born in New Zealand, he has been based in New York since 1972 and continues to exhibit regularly in both locations. His influences come from such varied sources as Abstract Expressionism, Modernism, Eastern and Western spiritual beliefs and Jungian psychology.
For an abstract artist he displays great technical and stylistic range; from monochrome geometric abstraction to calligraphic and figurative expressionism. He uses novel shaped supports: ovals, circles, and rings. He is most recognised, however, for the quatrefoil. It's use incorporates various meanings as it dates back to pre-Christian times and is found in both Western and Eastern religions symbolising such things as a rose, window, cross and lotus.
