Sam Field: The Best Thing To Come Out Of Melbourne: Portrait Of The Hume Highway
The Best Thing to come out of Melbourne: Portrait of the Hume Highway is the debut exhibition of lutruwita/Tasmania-based, Sam Field with Michael Reid, and the artist鈥檚 first solo in Sydney.
Field is a painter with an instinct for colour and symbolism. There is an enigmatic charm to his work that is informed by a broader language of Australian landscape painting formed over the last half century. His paintings have a sense of parable to them, achieved through the confident handling of both paint and narrative.
鈥淭hese works document a recent trip up the fabled Hume Highway鈥�, says Field. 鈥淏eing from Sydney and living in Tasmania means I have found myself on this road often over the years, and it鈥檚 a journey I鈥檝e come to relish. Between the trucks, windmills, and McDonalds stops one can find moments of solitude which are becoming increasingly rare in our digitised world.鈥�
