Prepare to discover the hidden beauty of the familiar world in Brian Simmonds latest exhibition, Home Time.
Welcome to the “great indoors”. Here the interior world that shelters and comforts’ us is brought into a sharper focus, revealing the way objects claim ‘a place in their owners affections’. Revealing the way that we view the world around us, ‘in passing moments and brief glimpses’. Through charcoal and pastel works on paper Brian Simmonds explores the family home. His search results in a treasure trove of perspective, sensations of recall and discovery, and the enjoyment of thought stimulated by experience.
Brian’s artistic exploration does not stop at the back door. This exhibition follows the artist as he takes a step further into the garden. His entrance into the tactile realm of nature results in cascading floral scenes, elements of light, colour, and nature, dancing in oil paint. The message is clear and simple, take time to smell life’s floral beauties and appreciate the wonderment of the everyday. It’s Home Time.
Brian has won numerous first prizes and resulting commissions for his entries in both the Stirling Art Exhibitions and Melville City Annual Awards. Brian has made a lasting mark on the community in his role as teacher at community hubs such as Tresillian.
