When
19 March to 17 June 2025 at Moran Gallery Sylvania
Simon McGrath explores the elements that make up the urban scenes that so keenly draw his attention. His artworks are constructed from multiple panels, each representing a different element or perspective that interests him.
McGrath’s work explores how a strong connection to place informs identity. Many of the paintings feature buildings from around the Sutherland Shire, where he currently lives, and buildings in the Marrickville area, where he lived previously. McGrath’s compositions skillfully juxtapose building facades with other ubiquitous elements, such as street signs and graffiti covered objects.
