Mal Leckie – The Humble Picture Exhibition

The short version of what’s going on with this show is that it’s about simplicity, in both our lives and our aspirations. These small and simple works are done with all the acquired visual understanding I could muster distilled into the most basic and efficient marks I could make. I am interested in how much ‘feel of place‘ I can communicate using as little as possible.
