1 March - 1 June 2025
Don't Get Too Comfortable by Matthew Cheyne and Caroline Cheyne is showing at Ipswich Art Gallery from 1st March 2025.
This captivating exhibition takes you on a journey into a realm of imagination. With imagery that serves as metaphors for the universal experiences we navigate in our lives and relationships.
There are recurring motifs: volcanoes, tents, rodeo bulls, zoos, wild animals, nature – cultured and wild, the topsy-turvy space of the picture plane.
Despite its clear escapism, this imagery presents as metaphor and speaks to experiences we all face in our lives and relationships.
Matthew Cheyne is a Queensland artist, working in oil painting, drawing and sculpture. He graduated from the Queensland College of Art in 2001, having also studied film, and literature.
Matthew Cheyne's work is part oil painting, part hyper-colour drawing. Subjects as diverse as volcanoes, street hawkers and looters are rendered with the same dark humour.
This is an Ipswich Art Gallery exhibition
