COLOUR II: MERV MORIARTY ARTIST TALK
Learn about the artworks in Colour II: Merv Moriarty, in the Field, from the artist himself. Merv will be in the gallery from 3:30 – 4:30pm to talk about his new series of works and upcoming tour.
The artist describes his way of working as “sketching in the field first using watercolours or acrylics, with final works exploring the flexibility of modern acrylic paints of canvas”. The process of working from life rather than from a photograph is an important part of Moriarty’s process and he notes that ” I am constantly striving to reveal, not imitate reality.”
Learn more about the Colour and Response Tour and Exhibition Project.
This event is very generously hosted by Mitchell Fine Art.
