Not Quite Square

Not Quite Square is an exhibition of non-objective, minimalist, geometric oil paintings and linear sculptures (constructed with stretcher framing) developed over ten years. The artist’s current style evolved from an earlier period creating relief sculpture from bushfire blackened casuarina. The simple, linear, geometric composition of those relief sculptures now transferred to painting, with the makers marks left clearly visible.

Stockley has drawn inspiration from Constantin Brancusi’s endless column sculptures, minimalist painters Ellsworth Kelly and Imi Knoebel and the geometry of primitive art.
