‘Where I Live’ by Brent Forbes is on the wall

‘Where I Live’ by Brent Forbes is on the wall and is getting a fair amount of attention - which isn’t a surprise to us at all!

Inspired by the conversation between land, sea and sky, Brent’s atmospheric abstracts draw you right on in. Scenes familiar to the artist are realised in broad, gestural strokes and daubes on the canvas capture fleeting light and emerging shadow, while land forms are revealed.

Brent’s artistic approach for this show has been one of quiet contemplation. In ‘Where I Live’ we have a body of work that has been created - one painting at a time - in a focused but unhurried manner, progressing through to completion organically. Brent muses that it was as if he was mirroring the passage of nature and time; “Not a lot happens a lot of the time. Then something does. Then nothing happens again. Although the nothing ‘is’ something – just on a slower timescale”.

‘Where I Live’ officially opens this Saturday at 2pm, with enticing refreshments to enjoy, immersive paintings to reflect on (and purchase!) and the lovely Brent Forbes to meet and converse with - don’t miss it!

Opening next Saturday 3rd June at 2pm is the highly anticipated new solo exhibition by Brent Forbes, titled ‘Where I Live’.

In this new body of work Brent reflects on the here and now, the immediacy of place and the world around him. Informed by a subtle shift in his creative approach, through this collection Brent has explored what it means to alter artistic expectations, to produce work at a slower, yet more engaged pace, while pondering the intersection between creativity and commerce. His customary large works are left behind as Brent’s hallmark monochromatic palette and layered atmospheric landscapes are realised on a smaller, more intimate scale.
