Steve Tyerman, There Were Plants And Birds And Rock And Things, 2020. Oil on canvas, 133.5 x 200cm. Courtesy: the artist and Anthea Polson Art.

Characterised by intense involvement in the materiality of paint, Steve Tyerman‘s works are the outcome of an intimate engagement with the environment. His art communicates a visual experience beyond the strictures of traditional landscape painting. Form, space, colour and light become simultaneously resolved in the immediacy of the palette knife gesture.

“For a long while my work has been about trying to express something of the depths of my experiences,” says Tyerman. “We have become excessively accustomed to discerning life through digital images. They are so prevalent that they inform notions of reality… digital imagery is the furthest thing from reality!”

The gallery is open and practicing COVID-19 social distancing measures.

The exhibition can also be viewing online. View exhibition here.
