Join Gareth Sansom for a booth talk and Q&A to discuss his practice, new work and upcoming solo at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery. 

Gareth Sansom is one of Australia’s most highly regarded painters and provocateurs; a leading figure of the Australian twentieth-century avant-garde. With an active practice stretching back to the 1960s, Sansom has established a distinctive style of formal abstraction characterised by a punk approach, garish colour palettes, hard-edge geometric forms juxtaposed against figurative gestures, and the inclusion of ambiguous text and visual imagery. Merging references to art history, film, literature, philosophy and popular culture with a personal iconography, Sansom’s intuitively formed paintings create a visual complexity that explores physical, psychological and material transformation.

Location: Booth H8
