So the reason why my blog has been very quiet lately is that I have been painting lots for my first solo show which opens next Friday.

Clogged

Clogged is an insight into the ideals and practises of artists Simon Gardam and Rhen Dodd (aka fray). After creating next to each other in a studio space over a period of months, the result is a body of work featuring both independent and collaborative imagery. Rhen’s work is an exploration of Australian social customs, whilst Simon’s paintings aim to capture thought processes and progression yet still display certain resolve.
