Simon Degroot: Titanium Anvil
Witness the sophisticated and robust compositions of Simon Degroot.
Overview
If there's one thing humans will always have over the rest of the animal kingdom, it's our sense of creativity. Sure, there are those sell-out, painting elephants and the ever-entertaining lyrebird, but it's humans alone who are graced with the ability to create abstract compositions of colour, shapes and textures.
The proof lies right on our doorstep with local artist Simon Degroot. His bright and colourful paintings of bulky shapes and transulcent forms have cemented him as one of Brisbane's best. His latest exhibition, Titanium Anvil, is a display of abstract compositions of mechanical figures, painted in a graphic style that combines flat pinks and yellows with chrome coloured bends and twists. Degroot strips fragments of his pieces of their original context, evoking a meaning quite familiar but still very distant for the viewer.
Degroot's production of aesthetically teasing, chrome paintings are the perfect meal for any creativity-starved human brain.
