Paintings by Australian artist Fintan Magee. A pioneer of photorealism in street art, Magee’s recent work has become increasingly blurred and abstracted. The new deconstructed images explore the uneasy relationship between photography and painting — how painting technique contributes to narrative and allegory; how something as simple as a brush stroke can become central to the story within a still image. The paintings also explore the Magee’s relationship with Architecture, incorporating glass patterns from Queenslander homes. Glass is a common feature of Magee’s home region and a reference the artist’s childhood, his connection with home, place and the built environment while also exploring the social and physical isolation of Australia’s suburbs and urbanisation.
