Press Release: Christopher McVinish - Space, Time and Memory


Christopher McVinish (b.1952)
Exhibition: Space, Time and Memory
Opening Saturday 5 December 2009
Drinks with the artist 3 -5pm

Eva Breuer Art Dealer is proud to announce the opening of Christopher McVinish’s new exhibition Space, Time and Memory. McVinish is a realist painter concerned with the depiction of time and the moments of everyday life.

With Space, Time and Memory, McVinish focuses his attention on the figure in the landscape, using the atmospheric qualities of weather to establish a mood and suggest the protagonist’s thoughts. As with The Interrupted Journey No. 3 the darkening clouds and expansive landscape serve to isolate the figures and heighten the stillness of the composition. The collection of paintings range from gritty urbanscapes to soft rolling landscapes all with a centralised pathway – a road, stairway, or sidewalk – as the common thread uniting the receding figures. .

McVinish has an extensive exhibition history and is represented in a number of Australian collections including Griffith University, Redcliffe, Gold Coast, and Toowoomba City Councils.

Space, Time and Memory can be viewed from Friday 4 December until Tuesday 15 December and will have its official opening with the artist attending on Saturday 5 December from 3pm until 5pm.
