The culmination of a continual dialogue over several years brings two artists who are engaged with colour together for the first time. This new work shows each artist’s different perspectives and approaches. Hedley’s work is an organic abstraction, responding to the shape, patterns, and grain of the timber on which he paints. Rhythm, repetition and spontaneity are indicative of Smith, combining both the rational and emotional state of making.

These new works revolve around a central theme of unity between all people, seeking the essence of what connects us. Precise, emotive images using oil paint on smooth canvas explore the line between abstract painting and the hyperrealist aesthetic of fine detail and dramatic lighting; reflecting on such things as the shifting light on flowing water, or a quiet moment.
