New Work
Painter Max Lawrence White presents an ode to the beauty of the colour wheel, in three dimensions.
Overview
Blue and green should never be seen without a colour in between. Or was that red and green? I can’t remember and judging by the preview image for his bluntly titled upcoming exhibition, New Work, which opens at Foot-us-crazy's Bruce Gallery on Thursday night, neither can local artist Max Lawrence White. I think that’s pink and red I spy right next to each other there too — a middle finger to the rules of artistic practice according to schoolyard rhymes or is White just an adventurous colour blocker, like this donkey? Either way, his three-dimensional canvasses offer an uplifting ode to colour and its ability to invoke an immediate, almost primal response.
New Work is White’s second show for 2013, following the also informatively titled Forced Collaboration, which saw White share Dud Space with fellow artist Cheralyn Lim earlier this year.
