Mat Vaughan: There there

There there brings together a new series of large-scale paintings by North-East Victorian artist Mat Vaughan. Based in the alpine village of Wandiligong, painting for Vaughan inhabits the space between. Each painting is a conversation, a negotiation, yet with persistence and time, a shift occurs, something clicks and the painting speaks back. There is connection and arrival, and for Vaughan this moment is there.
