John Lacey 'Expressive Forms' 2021

Art2Muse Gallery presents Expressive Forms by South Australian Artist John Lacey.

John Lacey is an established South Australian artist who has been practicing professionally for the past 17 years. John works from his eco-friendly studio and gallery on his 3 acre property just south of Mt Compass. He has exhibited around Australia and his work is collected nationally.

Expressive Forms stems from John's recent trips to the NSW Central Coast and Hawkesbury region. In beautifully textured oil and cold wax, subtle abstraction distorts the image of reality to capture the artist's subjective and emotional responses to place.

'I fell in love with the late afternoon light that kisses the coastal clifftops before it slips into the western ranges.' - John Lacey, 2021

These fleeting moments and special memories of adventure are captured in en plein air studies and photography. Back in the studio, they supplement the emotional memory of place to complete the final work - rich in colour, texture, and passion.
